## Welcome to Glint!
Glint is a lightweight programming language designed for simplicity and performance. It combines both interpreter and compiler capabilities to cater to diverse programming needs.
### Features:
- **Interpreted and Compiled:** Glint offers both interpreted and compiled modes. By using `use compiler` and `stop use compiler`, developers can opt for a compiled appraoach where the syntax includes braces `{}`, introduces typing, and addresses memory safety concerns—ideal for those requiring features typical of compiled languages.
- **Error Handling:** Glint provides robust error handling with clear feedback to aid debugging.
- **Simplicity:** Glint features a straightforward syntax that promotes readability and ease of understanding.
- **Performance:** Optimized for speed, Glint outperforms Python and competes closely with languages like JavaScript, Java, and Ruby in benchmarks.
- **Dynamic Typing:** Supports dynamic typing for flexibility without explicit type annotations.
### Getting Started
To begin using Glint:
1. **Installation:** Clone the repository and compile Glint using Rust's Cargo:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your_username/glint.git
cd glint
cargo build --release
```
2. **Run a Glint Program:** Execute a Glint program by passing a `.glt` file as an argument:
```bash
cargo run run my_program.glt
or
Glint run my_program.glt
```
### Documentation
Explore the Glint documentation [here](https://glint.gitbook.io/glint).
### Examples
Discover the simplicity and power of Glint with these examples:
- **Hello World:**
```Glint
write "Hello, World!"
```
- **Simple Arithmetic:**
```Glint
a is 10
b is 20
sum is a + b
write "Sum:", sum
```
- **Simple Function:**
```Glint
MyFunc(a, b) {
if a > b {
return true
} elif a = b {
write "a = b!"
return true
} else {
return false
}
}
```
- **Simple compile + interpreter combination:**
```Glint
array is [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
write "Lets go!"
"use compile"
Array(arr: Array) -> int8 {
for i in array {
write i
}
}
"stop compile"
Array(array)
# output:
# 1
# 2
# 3
# 4
# 5
```
