# hayago

**hayago** (早語, _fast language_, pronounced ha-ya-go) is a small, fast,

embeddable, statically typed scripting language, written in Nim. Its syntax is

inspired by Nim itself.

| **Note** | hayago is not finished yet. This readme is a draft of the language's goals. |

| --- | --- |

Its main goals are:

- **Simplicity.** The core feature set remains small, but powerful enough for

  usage in applications of varying complexities.

- **Soundness.** Unlike most scripting languages out there, hayago has a static

  typing system instead of a dynamic one, which makes code more robust and

  maintainable. It has generics with type inference, minimizing code repetition

  and making refactoring easy.

- **Speed.** It's in the name: _fast language_. While its speed doesn't match

  that of more complex languages with JIT compilers, static typing gives hayago

  a big advantage over other scripting languages.

- **Easy embedding.** Embedding hayago in your application is as simple as

  listing all the things you need to be available in the VM.

```nim

proc hello(target: string) {

  echo("Hello, " & target)

}

hello("Nim users")

iterator items[T](list: seq[T]) -> T {

  var len = list.len

  for i in 0..
