{{language|AntLang}} |
|||
'''AntLang''' is a functional scripting language named after its creator Anthony Cipriano. Its main distinctive feature is short syntax oriented towards mathematical equations. |
|||
It is a combination of APL and M-Expressions, which main strength is its short and concise syntax. |
|||
The first implementation of AntLang was written in [[Haskell]], another one called OpenCally is a [[C]] framework and can be used as a software library to write AntLang compilers. |
|||
This framework is in use for writing the AntLang-to-[[JavaScript]]-compiler antlang-js and the command run-antlang. |
|||
== Code examples == |
|||
=== Simple math === |
|||
5*1+2 /=> 15 |
|||
AntLang uses right-to-left evaluation, so 1+2 gets executed before 5*3. |
|||
Even though AntLang evaluates right-to-left, it is recommended to read left-to-right in a top-down manner. |
|||
=== Hello World === |
|||
echo["helloworld"] |
|||
The echo function is called with the string ''helloworld'', prints it and returns it. |
|||
=== Factorial === |
|||
factorial:{1 */ 1+range[x]} |
|||
The times-reduction (*/) with the accumulator value 1 over the list 1+range[x]. |
|||
=== Fibonacci sequence === |
|||
fib:{<0;1>{x,<+|-2#x>}/range[x]} |
|||
== Implementations == |
|||
=== hsAntLang === |
|||
hsAntLang was the first AntLang implementation, which is still used by most of AntLang users. |
|||
It fully implements the language standard plus several extensions, like multithreading, file Input/output and exception handling. |
|||
It is hosted on GitHub. |
|||
=== OpenCally === |
|||
OpenCally is an AntLang compiler by AntLang Software. |
|||
It is under active development and doesn't support all the standard functions and syntax yet. |
|||
OpenCally adds interfaces to all its target languages (currently [[JavaScript]]): |
|||
/ load the standard library |
|||
:"?/lib/stdlib.a" |
|||
/ make a JavaScript function available to AntLang (prefix: v_) |
|||
js)v_console_log = console.log; |
|||
/ call that function from within AntLang |
|||
console_log each <"APL"; "Haskell"; "Erlang"> |
|||
To execute the code above on a machine with OpenCally installed, run: |
|||
$ run-antlang file.ant |
|||
It is also hosted on GitHub. |
