Nature is a programming language that pursues simplicity and elegance in syntax, focusing on the writing and reading experience of its users.
When the official version is released, nature will have a stable syntax API, type system, GC, coroutine, generics, package management, and basic standard library.
Nature supports cross-compilation, which can be compiled to linux/darwin & amd64/riscv64/wasm, and can also be interpreted to execute on the nature-vm.
To get started with Nature, download and extract the nature installation package from the releases. We recommend moving the extracted nature folder to /usr/local/ and adding the /usr/local/nature/bin directory to the system's environment variables.
Create a main.n file with the following contents:
print("hello nature")
Compile and execute:
# docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/app --name nature naturelang/nature:latest sh -c 'nature build main.n && ./main'
> nature build main.n && ./main
