Glider is a dramatically simple programming language. It is functional, immutable, and strongly typed via inference. It also has no looping constructs, no early return; strict operators; and uses a JSON type to express dynamic objects.
See The Book for more information about Glider features and principles.
Versio is a binary written in the Rust programming language. If you have installed Rust, you can do this:
$ cargo install glider
And then you can run this little gem:
$ cat > my_script.gli << EOF
f = fn([f, a]) { f(a) };
a = fn(a) { a };
f([a, 3])
EOF
$ glider -s my_script.gli
Done: 3
See The Book for more information about the language syntax.
Glider was developed to satisfy the need for a very simple, very functional language scripts that could manage complex processes at a high level--for example, managing an HTTP request/response stream--without getting bogged down in details.
