ALang - A language

A very tiny dynamically typed interpreted language.

#Features

#Alang is a dynamically typed language
    
#Just give a name and a value and you are
#ready to go.
hello := "world"
    
#Alang supports integers and strings
y := 42
    
#how to output things to console
println "Quick and easy"
    
# We have for loops with ranges
# 1 ~ 10 means from 1 to 10
for(i := 0 ~ 10) {
    println(i)
}
    
#Lists are made this way
x := [3, 9, 4, 6, 5, 1, 6, 7, 8, 10, 2]
    
#Lists are also dynamically typed
#so you can have lists like this
x := ["Hello", 10]

Getting started

Dependencies:

Java 1.7 or newer

Source

To build ALang from source, you need to have Apache Maven installed.

$ git clone https://github.com/nishtahir/ALang.git
$ cd ALang
$ ./mvnw package

The output of the build is located in the target/ALang/bin/ALang directory. To execute an ALang source file,

$ cd target/ALang/bin
$ ./ALang [path to Alang source]

Documentation

To generate Documentation, after Source step, you should issue command:

$ ./mvnw site

and then generated documentation will be on following link: ALang/target/site/apidocs/index.html

but if you want UML diagrams to be included in your documentation, you need to have graphviz installed, before generating documentation. You can install graphviz via issuing following command:
