Listed below are all of the tasks on Rosetta Code which have been solved using YAMLScript.

YS (aka YAMLScript) is a new programming language that uses YAML as its syntax. It is a complete, functional, general purpose language, but can also be easily embedded in YAML files to make them dynamic at load time. Most existing YAML files and all JSON files are already valid YS programs.

You can learn YS for free (with help from experienced mentors) at Exercism.

YS has a compiler/interpreter CLI program called ys and is also available in several programming languages as a binding module to the libyamlscript.so shared library:

• Clojure
• Go
• Java
• Julia
• NodeJS
• Perl
• Python
• Raku
• Ruby
• Rust

Installing YS

Run this command to install the ys command line YS runner/loader/compiler binary.

 curl -s https://yamlscript.org/install | bash

That will install $HOME/.local/bin/ys. If $HOME/.local/bin is not in your PATH, run:

 export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

Test the new installation:

 $ ys --help
