Gago | Programming Language Built in Go

if you are looking for the docs, go here

Gago is a interpreted programming language. It is fully written in Go.

Gago includes:

• Lexer
• Parser
• VM
• Module implementation
• Easy embedding into your Go application
• Standard library

The gago builtins module: (as of v0.7-alpha)

• print(args...) type: function. Doc: prints the specified values seperated by a space
• input type: function. Doc gets input from stdin until newline
• teststring type: global variable. Use: testing purposes
• sleep type: function. Doc: sleeps for the specified ms experimental
• exit type: function. Doc: exits from the process experimental

Objectives

Gago started as an experiment to find out how hard it would be to build a programming language in Go. With all the standard library written in Go, it would be faster than many programming languages, such as Python.

It can also be used as a wrapper around Go, since any Gago expression can be written in Go.

Status

gago currently:

• Lexes all tokens correctly
• Parses some expressions to AST
• Is able to run the AST available right now (in the VM)
• Has a builtin module and module system.
• Is able to run defined Go functions inside the Gago script.

Taking the project further is the main goal. Making a simple language which can run just like any programming language would be a end goal. Once Gago is ready to run some of the more basic code, running benchmarks will be added.

Gago is currently in a pre-release or beta state.
