Luzon Language

About Luzon

This is an embedded language created in Kotlin to work with JVM applications. I created this language for my final year project at University.

This project is still in progress so doesn't yet have a lot of language features. I currently have basic programming language functionality implemented. For example, expressions, simple classes and functions within classes. There are a lot of features I would like to add in the future, but due to time limitations with this as a University Project, I will be unlikely to do this until I am done.

You can see examples of using the language within a project at luzon-examples

More information about the project can be found here on my university page.

implementation "com.luzon:luzon:1.0.4"

and the following repository:

maven {
    name "luzon"
    url "https://dl.bintray.com/ch629/luzon/"
}

Maven

Add the following dependency into your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.luzon</groupId>
    <artifactId>luzon</artifactId>
