Monkey language

A compiled, minimal self written programming language for learning purposes

The language looks like this:

if (hallo) {
    let if_stack_variable = 5;

    if(if_stack_variable) {
        let nested_if_stack_variable = 13;
    }else{nested_else_stack_variable = "nice";}
} else {
    let else_stack_variable = "hallo";
}

if (lello) {
    let if_stack_variable = 5;

    if(if_stack_variable) {
        let nested_if_stack_variable = 13;
    }
    else{
        let nested_else_stack_variable = "hallo";
    }
}
else
{

}

let variable = ((4 - 2 * 3 + 1) * -sqrt(3*3+4*4)) / 2;
variable = ((true & true | true | true) & sqrt(false&true&false|true)) & false;

fn hallo(): void {

}

let objectVariable =
{
    guten: "Hallo",
    ciau: 5,
    rofl: name(),
    mofl: name(nestedMethod("Hallo", moin("Ciao", 5)))
};

let nestedObjects = {
    guten: "Hallo",
    ciau: 5,
    mofl: {
        guten: "Hallo",
        ciau: 5,
        property1: name(),
        property2: name(nestedMethod("Hallo", moin("Ciao", 5)))
    },
    rofl: name(),
};

let inline = { test: "Hallo", nested: { integer: -51 } };
let variable_inside = { test: "Hallo" };

let myString = "Strings are great!";
let guten_tag = name();
guten_tag = name("Guten Morgen", 5);
name(nestedMethod("Hallo", moin("Ciao", 5)));
let hallo = "Github"; tschuess = 5;
let mallo = "";
let variable_with_another_variable_assignment = hallo;

fn method_name(variable, variable): void {
    function_variable_one = 10;
}

fn f(variable, variable): void
{
    function_variable_two = 10;
}

hallo = "Clion"; let ciao = 5;
mallo = "";

Compiling

Compiling is as easy as you think

cargo build

Requirements

For compiling and linking this language uses nasm and ld. Both is needed in order to use this language.

Running

cargo run

Arguments

• Input file:
  • The main source file
• target-os:
  • Currently, can target Windows, Linux and WSL

Example

Windows

cargo run -- --input monkey-language-project/main.monkey --target-os windows

Linux

cargo run -- --input monkey-language-project/main.monkey --target-os linux
