🍖 ham, a programming language made in Rust

NOTE: I'm learning rust, I am still a noob

status: alpha

You can download it from here.

Goals

• Speed
• Security
• Comfort

Language Ideas

• Rust interoperability
• Manifest file
• Ability to import files from:
  • Local file system
  • HTTP urls
  • By name (this would use some kind of remote registry to translate it to HTTP urls)
• std library
• Low-level (networking, file system...) APIs

Project ideas

• CD integration to release a new version in each commit
• More unit tests

Example

fn calc(value){
    // If the value is 5 end the function
    if value == 5 {
        return 0
    }
    
    // Add 1 
    value.mut_sum(1)
        
    // Print it's value
    println(format("Value is {}", value))
        
    // Call the function again with the latest value    
    return calc(value)
}

// This will print from `Value is 1` to `Value is 5`
let _ = calc(0)

There are more examples in /examples.
