Golem

Golem is a statically typed, object-oriented programming language.

Example

using core

func fib(n: int) -> int {
	if n < 2 {
		return n
	}
	return fib(n-2) + fib(n-1)
}

let t0 = clock()
let mut i = 0
while i < 5 {
	println(fib(28))
	i := i + 1
}
let elapsed = clock() - t0
println("Elapsed: $elapsed")

Features

• Easily readable and learnable
• Normal object-oriented features (classes, method calls, etc.)
• Immutablitiy of everything by default
• Explicit mutable declaration
• Statically, strong-typed
• Automatic type inference
• NULL is not possible to create or use
• Option types
• Fast, garbage collected bytecode VM

Installing

Golem is written in C99, and has been tested to run on Linux and Windows. A Makefile is used to build the compiler.

$ make
$ golem your/file/here.gs

Use make DEBUG=1 to generate the debugger. To generate the immediate representation tool, run make ir. More features can be enabled/disabled in the Makefile.
