Malanka (programming language)

Malanka is a compiled, statically typed general purpose programming language written in TypeScript and similar to C, Ruby, and Typescript itself.

Hello World

// import libc for printf
dlib "lc"

// print a message
printf("Hello, World!")

Installation

Malanka requires some dependencies to be installed on your machine.

sudo apt-get install nodejs npm nasm freeglut3-dev

And install language itself:

git clone https://github.com/DimaPekutko/malanka
cd malanka
npm i
npm run build

Usage

Create file, for example main.mal. Put inside:

dlib "lc"

a @int = 1337

printf("%d\n", a)

Compile with commnad (in the project root folder):

npm run compiler main.mal

And run it:

./main # output: 1337

Features

What is currently available:

• [x] Data types: @int, @doub, @str, @pointer, @func
• [x] Varaibles a @type = ...
• [x] Complex expressions -((2*3/21+--3)-((32/6)*365))
• [x] Conditions if 2>3: //body end
• [x] For loops for i @int=0; i < 10; i++: // body end
• [x] Arrays arr{length} @type = [a,b,c...]
• [x] Functions .func_name @int # arg1 @int, arg2 @float: // body end
• [x] Dynamic imports dlib "your_lib_path" (lib path should starts with l, for example for libc library use "lc")
• [x] Symbol scopes

Example of all features

// import libc for printf
dlib "lc" // equal: "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.x"

// var declaration example
a @int = -22+(32/3+43)*8-5

// var assignment example
a = a * 2

// if else example
if a == 10 and 3 < 4:
    printf("okay")
elif 22 or a > 10:
    printf("hmm... that is elif")
else:
    printf("else case")
end

// array declaration example
arr{5} @int = [12,3,16,235,76]

// for example
for j @int = 0; j < 5; j = j + 1:
    printf("%d", arr[j])
end

// function example (without args)
.say_hello @void:
    puts("hello!")
end

// function example
.foo @doub # a @int, b @int:
    if a > b:
        ! 3.14
    else:
        ! 2.7
    end
end

// funcion call
foo(543, 2135)

Supported platforms

You can run it only on these platforms:

• [x] Linux x86-64
