OwnLang

OwnLang - dynamic functional programming language inspired by Scala and Python. Available for PC, Android and Java ME devices.

Installing

Free Pro Desktop
Free Pro v2.1.0

Also available as AUR package:

yay -S ownlang

Key features

Higher-order functions

Functions are values, so we can store them to variables for operating.

operations = {
  "+" : def(a,b) = a+b,
  "-" : def(a,b) = a-b,
  "*" : def(a,b) = a*b,
  "/" : ::division
}

def division(v1, v2) {
  if (v2 == 0) return "error: division by zero"
  return v1 / v2
}

for name, operation : operations {
  println "2 " + name + " 3 = " + operation(2, 3)
}

Pattern Matching

Pattern matching with value pattern, tuple pattern, list pattern and optional condition.

def factorial(n) = match n {
  case 0: 1
  case n if n < 0: 0
  case _: n * factorial(n - 1)
}

def fizzbuzz(limit = 100) {
  for i = 1, i <= limit, i++ {
    println match [i % 3 == 0, i % 5 == 0] {
      case (true, false): "Fizz"
      case (false, true): "Buzz"
      case (true, true): "FizzBuzz"
      case _: i
    }
  }
}

// run
fizzbuzz()

Functional data operations

Operate data in functional style.

use std, functional

nums = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
nums = filter(nums, def(x) = x % 2 == 0)
// Squares of even numbers
squares = map(nums, def(x) = x * x)
foreach(squares, ::echo)
// Sum of squares
sum = reduce(squares, 0, def(x, y) = x + y)
println "Sum: " + sum
// Same using stream
println "Sum: " + stream(range(1, 11))
  .filter(def(x) = x % 2 == 0)
  .map(def(x) = x * x)
  .reduce(0, def(x, y) = x + y)

Operator overloading

Why not?

use std, types, math

def `..`(a, b) = range(a, b)
def `**`(a, b) = int(pow(a, b))
for y : 1 .. 10 {
  println sprintf("2 ^ %d = %d", y, 2 ** y)
}

Network module

Easy async HTTP requests with http module.

use std, http, functional, json

// GET request
http("https://api.github.com/events", def(r) {
  events = jsondecode(r)
  println events[0]
})

// POST request
http("http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users", "POST", {
  "name": "OwnLang",
  "versionCode": 10
}, ::echo)

// PATCH request
http("http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/2", "PATCH", {"name": "Patched Name"}, ::patch_callback)

def patch_callback(v) {
  println v
}
