![Build](https://github.com/RauliL/snek/workflows/Build/badge.svg)

Experimental functional programming language which combines TypeScript typing

system with Python like syntax. Still a work in progress.

## Features

- Syntax inspired by [Python].

- Typing system inspired by [TypeScript].

- Supports following builtin data types, all immutable:

  - Booleans

  - Functions

  - Numbers (separate integers and floats)

  - Strings (full Unicode support)

  - Lists

  - Records (think of dictionaries in python or objects in JavaScript)

  - Null

- [Prototype-based programming] just like in [JavaScript].

- Module system where functions, values and types can be imported from other

  files located on your file system. In the future possibly from the Internet

  as well.

- [REPL].

- Relatively easy to embed into other C++ libraries/applications.

## How to compile?

You need to have [CMake] and C++17 compiler installed on your system, then do

this:

```bash

$ mkdir build

$ cd build

$ cmake ..

$ make

```

And tada! You can either execute `build/cli/snek` directly or install the

executable to your system by running `sudo make install`. Head over to the

`examples` directory to see what this language has to offer.
