A unified syntax that compiles into a number of OOP languages.
- Read the docs at glslang.org.
- Try it at aka.ms/gls-demo.
GLS is still under development. Don't expect everything to work!
GLS can be used as a command-line app or via import/require.
To convert file.gls to file.py:
npm install general-language-syntax gls-cli --global
gls --language Python file.glsSee gls-cli.
npm install general-language-syntax
const Gls = require("general-language-syntax").Gls;
const gls = new Gls();
gls.setLanguage("CSharp");
// System.Console.WriteLine("Hello world!");
console.log(gls.convert([`print : ("Hello world!")`]));GLS is halfway between 0.3 and 0.4.
