Jac is a unique and powerful programming language that runs on top of Python, offering an unprecedented level of intelligence and intuitive understanding.
This is the main source code repository for the Jac programming language. It contains the compiler, language server, and documentation.
Native Superset of Python - Jac is a native superset of python, meaning the entire python ecosystem is directly interoperable with Jac without any trickery (no interop interface needed). Like Typescript is to Javascript, or C++ is to C, Jac is to Python. (every Jac program can be ejected to pure python, and every python program can be transpiled to a Jac program)
AI as a Programming Language Constructs - Jac includes a novel (neurosymbolic) language construct that allows replacing code with generative AI models themselves. Jac's philosophy abstracts away prompt engineering. (Imagine taking a function body and swapping it out with a model.)
New Modern Abstractions - Jac introduces a paradigm that reasons about persistence and the notion of users as a language level construct. This enables writing simple programs for which no code changes are needed whether they run in a simple command terminal, or distributed across a large cloud. Jac's philosophy abstracts away dev ops and container/cloud configuration.
Jac Improves on Python - Jac makes multiple thoughtful quality-of-life improvements/additions to Python. These include new modern operators, new types of comprehensions, new ways of organizing modules (i.e., separating implementations from declarations), etc.
To install Jac, run:
pip install jaclang
Run jac in the terminal to see whether it is installed correctly.
