Iode is a fast and empirical programming language, inspired by Swift. Contributions are welcome!
More in depth, Iode is a multi-paradigm, imperative, procedural, object-oriented, and beginner-friendly programming language that compiles to JavaScript. Iode is influenced by languages such as Rust, Ruby, Go, and Swift.
Download/clone this repository, cd to the cloned directory, and type npm install -g. Installation will require NodeJS.
Quick getting-started script:
$ git clone https://github.com/iode-lang/Iode.git
$ cd Iode
$ npm install -g$ iode -h
Usage: iode [options] <files ...>
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-r, --run runs program without outputting generated code
-o, --output outputs the generated code
Example:
$ iode -o -r some/iode/file.iodeUnder the hood, Iode uses no additional libraries for parsing or lexical analysis. This means that the download will be quite smaller (than other alt-js languages..) and that the core will be powerful.
Every aspect of Iode has been designed in a logical, empirical way to ensure serene programming for anyone, anywhere, anytime. Iode trans-compiles into JavaScript, and therefore, will run anywhere.
The main goal of this programming language is to have a small learning curve so that any beginner can start coding. The second half of this goal is to appeal to experienced programmers as well. Syntax suggestions are being taken into consideration, if you have an idea, we'd be glad to hear about it!
Awesome! If you want to help with this project but don't know what to do, there's a to-do list available here. All contributors are added to the CONTRIBUTORS.md file.
Iode is developed on Windows 10 but should work on most operating systems such as OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, NonStop, IBM AIX, IBM System z, IBM i and other versions of MS Windows.
