A brand new programming language designed for developers with diverse coding interests! Yes, it's free to star 🌟!

Farr

A programming language inspired by different things that aims to attract all kinds of developers. Ah, obviously that's impossible, but at least we have a good idea!

Getting Started

In our programming language, the well-known Fizzbuzz program is as follows:

/**
 * A small challenge to label numbers into three categories...
 */

let rng_start = (
  readln!("Enter the starting point of the range: ")
  .toint()
);
let rng_end = (
  readln!("And also the end: ")
  .toint()
);
if rng_start >= rng_end = {
  println("The start value must be smaller than the end value!");
  exit!(1);
}

for let i in [rng_start..rng_end] = {
  if ((% i 15) == 0) = {
    println("...Fizzbuzz");
  } else if ((% i 3) == 0) = {
    println("...Fizz");
  } else if ((% i 5) == 0) = {
    println("...Buzz");
  } else = {
    println("${i}"); // Or just pass `i` as an argument!
  }
}

Yes, we use prefix notation for mathematical operations that clearly indicate priorities. You should also put an equal sign behind the open brace before starting a block...

Usage

Clone it first:

git clone https://github.com/sheikhartin/farr.git \
&& cd farr

For both cool developers and adventurous users:

pip install -e . \
&& export FARRPATH=$PWD \
&& farr -h

However, virtualization is usually a better option:

docker build -t farr . \
&& docker run -it farr -h

Once Farr is installed, you can use it in several ways:

To run a .farr file, use the run command:

farr run examples/linear_search/sol02.farr

Remember to replace the example code with your own Farr code.

To start an interactive Farr shell (REPL), use the shell command:

farr shell

To swiftly execute Farr code snippets right from your command line, use the cmd command:

farr cmd 'println("Hello, world!");'
