Simple is a new programming language (under development)

This lenguage is desgined thinking in simplicity and productivity. Focused on fast development, should be usefull to create small and fast scripts.

Notice

The code quality is really bad.

Usage

Compile and Run

Transpile your SIMPLE code to C++

node compiler.js -f myCode.imp -o myCode.cpp -l c++

Compile your C++ code

g++ myCode.cpp -o myProgram --std=c++20

Run your code

chmod +775 myProgram
./myProgram

Run Once

node compiler.mjs -f myCode.imp -o myCode.cpp -l c++ -b -r
rm myCode.cpp

Show tokens

node compile.mjs -f myCode.imp -t

Show parser

node compile.mjs -f myCode.imp -p

Show code

node compile.mjs -f myCode.imp -l c++

Features

Bash like functions
Bash like function calls
Variables
Types are guessed
Transpilable to multiple languages
Short and simple syntax
Really easy to learn

Modules to call complex c++ code

Syntax

Variables

You can use variables to save values.

res = 5

Internal Functions

There are some predefined functions you can use.

out "Hello world!\n"

in "What is your name?"

+in "How old are you?"

}

add 2 7

Function with multiple expresions and returning a value

sub {
  out "Substraction started...\n"
  $1 - $2
}

res = sub 10 7
out res

Conditionals

if 5 > 1
  out "All good!"
else
  out "Whaaaat?"
fi

Loops

For

}

age = +in "Your age -> "
