Ackermann Array mapping Closures (let ackermann (fun (m n) { (if (> m 0) (if (= 0 n) (ackermann (- m 1) 1) (ackermann (- m 1) (ackermann m (- n 1)))) (+ 1 n)) })) (assert (= 509 (ackermann 3 6)) "(ackermann 3 6) == 509") # imports can be prefixed or qualified (import std.List :map) # define an array using [...] or (list ...)

I’ve been working on this (not so little anymore) project for some time now, and I’m finally happy with the branding, UX and docs state.

It’s a scripting language I made at first as a toy, to learn new parsing methods, explore compiler optimizations, and go back to VM land where everything is low level and amazing (at least for me) ; it’s now a fully fledged language that can be used as a scripting language like Python or Ruby, and can also be very easily embedded inside a project, as one would do with Lua.

Let me know your thoughts and opinions on the project!

    Thanks for the idea, I’ll try to add a comparison page soon!

    The vertical alignement is now fixed, I got lucky with bootstrap ; it looks way nicer, thanks!
