CarbonScript

CarbonScript is a high-level programming language.

It is primarily designed to be embedded in applications and to face end-users.

Being a mix of Python and C-style/JavaScripty syntax, it should be quite easy to pick up.

This is how CarbonScript looks and feels like:

print("hello, world\n")


func hello()
    return "hello"


const foo = 42
var bar = 3

if (foo > bar)
    bar = 7
else if (foo < bar)
    bar = 1.618
else
    bar = 108


while (true)
    for (var i in [1..10:1])
        print(i)
    break

Roadmap

• Iterables ([a, b, c])
• for loops
• Replace unary ! with not.
• Make classes out of LiteralValues.
• Add global scope to Environment.
• Functions
• Classes
• Refactor error handling.
• Standard library (small).
• Python bindings and standard library overrides.
• Resource management/usage limits.
• Refactoring/cleanup
• Optimizations
