Like Python, but with brackets.

  • Basically: strongly typed, mix of python perl and php syntax
  • It uses {} rather than indentation, as I think it allows for more options.
  • Check out syntax.txt which I guess is also the docs?
  • Extension is .rsmy by default but to be honest it doesn't really matter.
  • .rsmy - Rosemary file
  • Error checking is pretty good right now, not
  • I'll try and fix that.

Latest versions

  • The latest version of the software will be compiled for Unix on amd64
  • Windows and potentially FreeBSD versions will be released with major updates

Documentation

  • This can be found in the docs folder

  • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheRosemaryProject/Rosemary/main/npp-extension.xml

Why use Rosemary?

  • Powerful and yet simple, Rosemary is easy to learn
  • If you're a JS, C family, PHP or Ruby developer, learning Rosemary is easy!
  • Simple syntax, but with the power of C at your fingertips
  • Speed

Plans for the project

  • Change from Python to C++ for performance ✅
  • I'll write my own interpreter, I won't use Bison or Flex or whatever
  • Interpreted for the time being, not compiled cos I don't know enough assembly
  • Latest executable is at SRC/rsmy.exe
  • You can compile for MacOS if you like
  • Provide a command line argument to execute a file, else a shell will boot
  • Also strings don't need speech marks, Rosemary does that for you
  • I'll try to implement error handling as best as I can, but you have to be careful with syntax, in case catch clause is missing
  • If you want to help, great! Make a pull request or an issue or whatever :)
  • Enjoy

Next Steps

  • Tokenisation ✅
  • Print ✅
  • Variables ✅
  • Operands ✅
  • IF ELIF ELSE ❎ (I think I have a method I just need to implement it)
  • WHILE FOR FOREACH ❎
  • TRY CATCH ❎
  • Sprig Package Manager ✅ find it in src\sprig
  • FTP deployment ✅
