Snekky Language 🐍

The Snekky Programming Language

Playground

Disclaimer!

Please do not take this project too seriously. I'm in no way a professional. To be honest, I'm surprised myself that Snekky is even somewhat usable.

Features

• Familiar syntax.
• Compiles to a custom bytecode.
• Arrays and hashes.
• Lambdas and closures are supported.
• ifs and functions may implicitly return a value.
• Final (let) and mutable (mut) variables.
• Destructuring of arrays and hashes.
• for ... in loops with iterators.
• As flexible and dynamic as a snek.

Installation

Compile it yourself

1. Download and install Haxe.

Usage

1. Create a file called input.snek
2. Run it using Snekky.exe input.snek

Example

// This is a comment
let add = func(a, b) {
    let result = a + b;

    Sys.println(result);
};

add(1, 2);

mut i = 0;
while i < 10 {
    Sys.println(
        if (i > 5) {
            "Snek"
        } else {
            i
        }
    );

    i += 1;
}

func(msg) {
    Sys.println("Self-invoking function says " >< msg);
}("Axolotls are cool!");
