Gen Programming Language

| Doc(English) | Doc(日本語) |

WARNING!! THIS LANGUAGE IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED.

Gen is an easy-to-learn, dynamic, interpreted, procedural programming language. Gen's syntax is inspired by Ruby and Python.
Gen also has a simple REPL (but you need to write for loops, if statements, and functions in one line, which is possible but hard to write).
And in Gen, a semicolon is the same as a new line, so you can ultimately write everthing in one line.

TODO

• Basic Built-in functions
• File I/O Operation
• Official site

Installation

Note: Using git clone to clone the repository is discouraged. Please download the source code from the releases page

cd Gen/pygen
make install

Then you can use gen:

gen some_file.gen

Hello World

println("Hello World")

Example

For examples, see examples directory.

# Bubble sort

defunc bubble_sort(arr)
    for i=0 through size(arr) then
        for j=0 through size(arr)-i-1 then
            jpls1 = j + 1
            if (arr@j) > (arr@jpls1) then
                temp = arr@j
                arr@j = arr@jpls1
                arr@jpls1 = temp
            end
        end
    end
end


array = [3734, 3732, 3810, 1649, 4952, 7993, 1225, 2728, 2849, 2113, 9883, 3839, 2839, 5463, 2741, 5684, 6848, 2834, 1838, 2483, 8384, 7885, 4853, 5848, 3838]
