Glacier Programming Language, written in Rust. Currently work-in-progress.

The Glacier Programming Language

Glacier is an imperative programming language continued from Gorilla.

Features

• Elegant and Clean

• Prefect for Code Golfing

• Optimized Speed

Example: FizzBuzz

fn fizzbuzz(from, to)
    i = from
    while i <= to
        print(
            if i % 15 == 0
                "FizzBuzz"
            else:if i % 3 == 0
                "Fizz"
            else:if i % 5 == 0
                "Buzz"
            else: i
        )
        i = i + 1
    end
end

Example: Fibonacci Number

fn F(i)
    if i <= 1: i
    else: F(i - 1) + F(i - 2)
end

Benchmark

• Fibonacci

bench\language	Glacier DEV	Gorilla 1.0	Ruby 2.7.2
21th - Time	0.05s	2.98s	0.13s
26th - Time	0.19s	DNF	0.15s
30th - Time	1.07s	DNF	0.27s
33th - Time	4.55s	DNF	0.58s

Compared to its brother Gorilla, Glacier is a LOT faster.

Improvement Areas

• GC Speed

• Variable Definition Speed

• Use jumping for functions

• Further reduce object copying/cloning

Glacier cannot grow without people finding and fixing bugs!
