helix - the little toy language that could

helix 0.0.1-alpha

helix is a fun and mostly useless toy language written in c. helix is based on an earlier project of mine called axis which was written in node.

what does helix look like?

// single comment
output::print('hello world')

// function declaration
fn say_hi() {
    output::print('hi :)')
}

// variables
name = 'brian'

// conditionals
if name == 'brian' {
    output::print('hi brian')
}

// math
output::print('2 + 2 =')
output::print(2+2);
