AshLang

AshLang is a functional programming language built with Rust.

⚠️Work in Progress⚠️

😎Why I built this?

1. Wanted to explore the process of building a programming language.
2. Just wanted to merge the features of other languages that I love into one language.
   • Simple syntax like Kotlin, Go, V & Zig.
   • Dynamic like Python & JavaScript.
   • Null-Safety like V, Dart & Swift.
   • Faster than Python.
3. Because I can 😜

✨Features

• Simple Functional Syntax.
• Dynamic Typing.
• Null-Safety Support.
• Interpreted.
• Language Server Support for VSCode/VSCode Web.
  • Syntax Highlighting
  • Code Formatting
• Execution support in VSCode/VSCode Web
• Open Source

🛠️Building

• Tokenizer
• Parser
• Interpreter
• Code Formatter
• LSP Server for VSCode/VSCode Web

🤔Usage

Execute the code

ash_lang_cli run ./code.ash

Format the code

ash_lang_cli fmt ./code.ash

📦Example

// BubbleSort implemented in AshLang
fn bubbleSort(arr) {
  let i = 0, j = 0;
  while (i < len(arr)) {
    j = 0;
    while (j < (len(arr) - 1)) {
      let x = get(arr, j), y = get(arr, j + 1);
      if (x > y) {
        arr = set(set(arr, j, y), j + 1, x);
      }
      j += 1;
    }
    i += 1;
  }
  return arr;
}

fn main() {
  let nums = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2, 4 ,6, 8, 0];
  println(bubbleSort(nums));
}
