# This software is DISCONTINUED!

There is a project rewrite under a new name, sol, available

[here](https://codeberg.org/rehuman/sol).

# ⚗ Germanium

Germanium is an open source, dynamically typed language written

in python. It focuses on runtime speed, user readability, and

cross-compatibility. It offers both a compiled and Just-In-Time

system.

## 🤨 Why Germanium?

Germanium is written in a way to be easily minified and quickly

processed. It is also written to improve program developers' 

experiences with programming by providing an easy-to-write but

feature-filled language.

## 🔬 Getting Started

```bash

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Froggo8311/Germanium/main/tools/web-install.sh)"

```

Using either the prebuilt or the source versions will be different

for each setup. The compiled interpereter will be more efficient

in terms of speed, but the source build is useful for Germanium

development, allowing the develeoper to quickly change and run the

program without having to wait for a build to finish. If you choose to

use the compiled version, you can download a prebuilt version for

your operating system and architecture if available, or build from

source.

### 🔭 Build from Source (Compiled)

You can build from source using the tools provided in the 

`install_src.py` file.

#### Prebuilt

Prebuilt packages coming soon. At the moment, only the source version

is available.

### 🧪 Run from Source (Just-In-Time)

For source builds, we reccommend using the

[latest version of PyPy](https://www.pypy.org/download.html)

for the best results and speed, but CPython will also work.

Make sure you are using the correct one when running the

install script, unless you are building from source.

## ⌨ Examples

### 🌎 Hello, World!

```ge

~ This is a comment

print("Hello, World!");

```

### ➰ Functions & Return Statements

```ge

func myFunc(a as Bool = true) {

  if (a) {

    return "Yes";

  } else {

    return "No";

  }

}

print(myFunc(true)); ~ "Yes"

print(myFunc(false)); ~ "No"

```

### ➿ Loops

```ge

func loop() {

  while (true) {

    print("This only runs once.");

    break;

  }

  

  myList = ["a", "b", "c", 1, 2, 3];

  for (i in myList) {

    print(i); ~ Prints:  0  1  2  3  4  5

    print(myList[i]); ~ Prints:  a  b  c  1  2  3

  }

}

```
