# Jingo

[![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/endpoint.svg?url=https%3A%2F%2Factions-badge.atrox.dev%2Fowez%2Fjingo%2Fbadge&style=for-the-badge)](https://actions-badge.atrox.dev/owez/jingo/goto)

![License](https://img.shields.io/github/license/owez/jingo?style=for-the-badge)

A lightweight, high-level language designed for rapid prototyping

## Syntax example

A small class-based program demonstrating the basic syntax of this language:

```none

print("Hello, world!")

--- Small test class, helping to describe some features of Jingo

class SomeClass {

    --- Creates new [SomeClass] from `x` value

    fun new(x) {

        let self.x = x

    }

    --- Multiplies number on record with `y`

    fun multiply(self, y) {

        return self.x * y

    }

}

let multiplied = SomeClass.new(3).multiply(25)

match == multiplied + 10 {

    10 => print("Huh? 10?"),

    85 => print("This is the number!"),

    _ => print("Default case")

}

```

Jingo follows these rules for syntax:

- No semi-colons or forced tabbing

- Everything is an expression

- Match-orientated conditionals

## Installation
