Description

The Ring is an Innovative and practical general-purpose multi-paradigm language. The supported programming paradigms are Imperative, Procedural, Object-Oriented, Functional, Meta programming, Declarative programming using nested structures, and Natural programming. The language is portable (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, etc.) and can be used to create Console, GUI, Web, Games and Mobile applications. The language is designed to be Simple, Small, Flexible and Fast. Read more!

Building from source code

You can build Ring using CMake or using Scripts (Batch Files or Shell Scripts).

The next steps explains building using scripts.

We provide instructions for building on the next platforms :-

(1) Microsoft Windows

(2) Ubuntu Linux

(3) Fedora Linux

(4) macOS
