blz is an easy to use, fast, and portable scripting language implemented using the JVM.
The goal is to provide programmers with high levels of abstraction to increase developer velocity.
Directions for installing the language are available on the Docs Site
Hello World
print("Hello World!")
Factorial
:main
print("What number would you like the factorial of?")
input = number_input()
print(fact(input))
end
:fact(num)
if num <= 1
1 # The last line of a method is automatically returned
else
num * fact(num - 1)
end
end
Constructors / Objects
:main
# Make a new Ball and name it red_ball
red_ball = Ball("red", 2)
# Examine its properties
print(red_ball.name())
print(red_ball.volume())
end
# Constructors can take parameters (that automatically become properties)
constructor Ball(color, radius)
# Objects can also have functions (closures)
:volume
return 4/3 * {pi} * (radius ** 3)
end
:name
return "a " + color + " ball with radius " + radius
end
end

The project comes precompiled in a .jar file, so you should be able to use it immediately after cloning. However, if you are interested in contributing you may have to rebuild the project.
See this wiki page to see how to build the language.
