Clio is looking to hire developers in Iran. If anyone is interested you can apply on our telegram group.

Clio

Clio is a pure functional lazy-evaluated programming language targeting decentralized and distributed systems. It is made to take advantage of multiple CPUs and CPU cores (parallelism) by default, to run on clusters and on the cloud easily.

Clio compiles to JavaScript. This makes Clio fast, easy to port and easy to extend. It gives Clio a free JIT compiler, a powerful VM and access to lots of existing libraries. It enables Clio to run in the browser and on servers, and anywhere JavaScript can run.

Project Status

Clio is in active development and it's not ready for production. It is in a highly experimental state, although some stable demonstrations and test programs exist, it is not recommended to use in production.

Examples

You can check the examples in examples repository or you can check Clio on Rosetta Code.

Documentation

You can visit docs.clio-lang.org for a short tutorial, introduction and documentation. This documentation is a work in progress and your contributions are highly appreciated.

Features and Work in Progress

Pure
Noise-free
Lazy evaluation
Lazy data types
Asynchronous by default
Functional programming paradigm
Pipes and flows
Functions are micro-services
Network-based foreign function interface
Tensor/array indexing and programming
Cloud/decentralized/distributed modules and functions
Event-based flow control

For a list of what's done and what's planned you can check Clio on Trello.

Project Goals

Encourage writing clean code
Encourage writing interconnected micro-functionalities instead of big whole programs
Make it easier to write decentralized and distributed code
Take advantage of multi-core CPUs and multiple CPUs by default
It should be easy to port existing code, and it should be easy to port Clio code to different platforms
Avoid spaghetti code and callback hell
