ToyLang

ToyLang is interpreted high-level fully OOP language with Python-like syntax and dynamic typing.

Complex is better than complicated.

As a multi-paradigm language, ToyLang supports object-oriented and imperative programming styles both.

Installation

$ gem install toylang

Usage

Run REPL:

toylang

or run file:

toylang your_code.tlg

Examples of code

# comment
println("Hello World")
"Hello World".println # Hello World

println(2 + 2 ** 5) # 34

def hello(name):
  "Hi, " + name + "!"

hello("Max").println # => Hi, Max!

a = 23
b = a + 2
println(b) # => 25

Hey = 5 # constant

if (2 > 1):
  println("Yeah!")
else:
  println("Something goes bad!")

if (false):
  print("Won't be printed")

Cycles:

a = 0
while (a != 3):
  println(a)
  a = a + 1
# => 0 1 2

OOP:

# class defination
class Klass:
  def my_method:
    true

# object creating
k = Klass.new
k.my_method.print # => true

# monkey patching
class Number:
  def ten:
    10

1.ten.println # => 10

class Number:
  def ten:
    11

1.ten.println # => 11

# inheritance
class Animal:
  def is_a_human:
    false
  def say:
    "..."

class Dog < Animal:
  def say:
    "Bark!"

dog = Dog.new
animal = Animal.new

println(animal.say)     # ...
println(dog.say)        # Bark!
println(dog.is_a_human) # false
