# slither

A modern scripting runtime

```js

function fib(n, a = 0, b = 1) { // argument initializers

  if n == 0 { // no parenthesis around if or try

    return a;

  }

  if n == 1 {

    return // unambiguous grammar means

      b;   // that this returns b, not null

  }

  // tail recursion

  return fib(n - 1, b, a + b);

}

print(fib(10) == 55);

```

Goals in no particular order

- staged JIT for good performance

- fast and easy networking

- good ffi interface
