maiascript.js is a compiler that implements the MaiaScript programming language.
MaiaScript is a programming language aimed at developing adaptable and intelligent applications. An adaptive application modifies its code to suit the conditions of the environment. An intelligent application, it learns to process the data it receives and adjusts to possible changes in its characteristics, over time. The MaiaScript language implements the adaptation paradigm, combining it with a variation of the object-oriented paradigm, simplified to exclude definitions of types and access restrictions. These characteristics make MaiaScript a programming language suitable for rapid learning, both by Computer Science professionals and scientists who are starting to implement computational algorithms. The characteristics of this language, also allow the rapid development of complex applications, especially when adaptability is necessary. MaiaScript also presents a syntax similar to that used in Mathematics, including libraries for Numerical Calculation, Complex Network Analysis, Database Access, Regular Expression Processing, and an abstraction layer between the MaiaScript interpreter and the underlying Operating System.
The complete documentation, including the EBNF grammar file and the compiler's syntax diagrams (railroad diagrams) can be found in the grammar directory. For more information send mail to: mailto:[email protected]
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
To use the MaiaScript language in HTML documents, just include the
file "js/maiascript.js" in the document and insert the MaiaScript code
in <script>
tags of type "text/maiascript"
:
<script type = "text/maiascript"> ... </script>
To compile and run the scripts configure the page's onload event to execute the "maiavm.compile()" method:
<body onload = "maiavm.compile();" ... </body>
To run MaiaScript code from the console, you need to install "Node.js" and the npm packages "jsdom" and "websql". To run a script use:
node js/maiascript.js "script name".maia
Or, if you installed the MaiaScript compiler using npm:
maiascript "script name".maia
