_A dog-themed, interpreted programming language for beginners._
## Why George Language?
GLang was made because beginner-friendly languages don’t have to be boring. GLang is:
- **Approachable:** Simple syntax and fun naming conventions to help users learn quick. Functions like `bark`, `chew`, and `uhoh` make coding more intuitive and playful.
- **Educational:** Teaches real programming concepts under the hood, like data structures (lists, strings) and collections such as hashmap.
- **All-In-One:** The `glang` binary includes the GLang runtime, package management, and component tools like `glang self update`
## Syntax
GLang’s syntax is designed to be fun, easy, and good on the eyes, while still teaching real programming concepts.
### 🦴 Basic Types
```
# glang has 3 primary types
obj list = [1, 2, 3];
obj string = "This is a string";
obj number = 3.14;
```
### 🔒 Constants
```
# "stay" makes a value constant
stay CONSTANT = true;
```
### 🐕 Functions
```
# Define a function with "func"
func example(arg1) {
give arg1; # 'give' = return
}
```
### 🤔 Conditionals
```
if 1 == 2 {
bark("Math broke!");
} alsoif 1 == 3 {
bark("Math is very broken!");
} otherwise {
bark("Math is working just fine.");
}
```
### 🔁 Loops
```
# While loop
while true {
leave; # stop a loop
}
# For loop
walk i = 0 through 10 {
bark(i);
}
```
### 📦 Imports
```
# Bring in external modules
fetch std_math;
bark(math_pi);
```
### 🧩 Error Handling
```
try {
1 / 0;
} catch error {
bark("Some error occurred: " + error);
}
```
