Xenly programming language

Dense, multiverse, and the successor of the C programming language

**Xenly** (formerly known as **Xenon**) is a **free and open-source** compiled high-level, multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language designed primarily for command-line interfaces, web servers, and applications. It was originally written in **C**, **Go**, and **Rust** programming languages.

Xenly programming language should be command-line interfaces, web servers, and desktop applications. It is static and dynamic typing, readability, usability, and flexibility.

![Introduction to Xenly](assets/xenly_introduction.gif)

## Major implementations

* [**Xenly**](https://github.com/magayaga/xenly) — Xenly can be an interpreter and package manager.
* [**XVM**](https://github.com/magayaga/xvm) — Xenly can be a virtual machine because the source code is into the bytecode like a class-based programming language.
* [**Xenlyc**](https://github.com/magayaga/xenlyc) — Xenly can be a compiler and package manager. It is the compiler front end for the Xenly programming language.
* [**XenlyXI**](https://github.com/magayaga/xenlyxi) — Xenly can be an interpreter.

## Examples
### Hello, World! program
The following shows how a **"Hello, World!"** program is written in Xenly programming language:

* `print` (v0.1.0-preview0 - v0.1.0-preview8)

```swift
// “Hello, World!” program
print("Hello, World!")
```

* `nota` (v0.1.0-preview9 - present). `nota` is the Latin word for **"print"** and **"note"**.

```swift
// “Hello, World!” program
nota("Hello, World!")
```

A **Xenly** variable is created the moment you first assign a value to it.

```swift
// "var" variable to nota()
var hi = "Hello, World!"
nota(hi)
```

I know all high-level programming languages like **Python**, **Ruby**, **Lua**, and **Julia** were initially written in C programming language.

The following shows how a **"Hello, World!"** program is written in [Hyzero](https://github.com/magayaga/Hyzero) programming language:

```python
# “Hello, World!” program
write("Hello, World!")
```

Here is the Hyzero programming language that was initially written in Python programming language like interpreter, high-level, and functional.

## Getting Started

### 1. Download the Xenly's source code

You can download the git clone of the `xenly` programming language. It is the available for the **Windows** and **Linux** operating systems.

```bash
# Download the Xenly's source code
$ git clone https://github.com/xenly
$ xenly
```

### 2. Install the Xenly's source code

You can run the program `makefile` for Linux, `make.bat` for Windows, and `main.sh` for both Windows and Linux.

```bash
# Run the program (makefile, bash script, or batchfile)
$ make
$ bash main.sh
$ ./make.bat

# Run the binary code
$ ./xenly
```

### 3. Set the Library paths (Linux)

Make sure the shared library path is correctly set so that the system can find the libraries. Set the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable to include the directory containing libraries (`math.so`, `graphics.so`, and more).

```bash
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:.
```

### 4. Check permissions and paths (Linux)

Ensure that the libraries has the correct permissions and is in the directory where `xenly` expects to find it. Ensure the library is readable and executable:

```bash
$ chmod +rx
```

For example,

```bash
$ chmod +rx math.so
```

Confirm that `math.so` is in the same directory as xenly or in a directory listed in `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.

### 5. Testing programs

```bash
# Xenly's version information
./xenly -v

# Running xenly's examples
./xenly examples/print/main.xe
```

## Source Code Organization

The Xenly source code is organized as follows:
