kelp's Introduction

elp programming language

bevare kelp is under heavy development. all is subject to change

What is Kelp?

Kelp is a programming language.

How does it look like?

let main = []: [] (
    "Hello world!" > println
)

Why should I use Kelp?

Right now, you shouldn't, it's under heavy development.

Because, it's different from other languages, and may lend some benefits. It was inspired by purely functional languages like Haskell, but also with Rust.

Advantages of Kelp:

  • allows for higher order functions (functions that return functions)
  • no explicit memory management (yet no GC)
  • automatic parallelization
  • custom operators (Kelp is built arround operators)
  • simple grammar (right now, grammar has only 29 lines, at it won't grow that bigger)
  • compiled and interpreted (thanks to Agar)

What is this Agar that I heard of?

Agar is the intermediate language used by Kelp in it's build chain. It's somewhat similiar to LLVM IR or Webassembly, yet more geared towards Kelp.

kelp's Issues

objects

Kelp should be able to work with complex data structures (objects)

tests

kelp is missing any kind of testing

there should be at least these tests:

  • without compiler errors
  • reproducing valid kelp code from AST
  • without parser errors
  • correct output
  • correct AST from code

better message/error formatting

kelp has a solid message facility. It can display multiple levels of priority and change outputs. Yet it is missing fancy formatting. All the necessary data should be already included in Error
