Frigga

Frigga is a strongly, dynamically typed functional programming language.

It follows a simple syntax that looks something like this:

x = 3
pi::Dec = 3.141

mutable y = x + pi
y += 1

printANumber = (value::Num) -> {
    println(value)
}

printANumber(y) #prints 7.141

Planned Features

• Static Analysis in place of a compiler
• Annotations
• Language Level function optimisations (eg tail recursion unrolling, same-input same-output caching, etc)
• Extension Functions
• Structs / Classes
• Named and Default Parameters
• Fully implement the runtime!
• Much more!

Potential Features

• Function definition as a reference call. For example printAValue = println[value::Any] would create a function equivalent to printAValue = (value::Any) -> { println(value) }. This could get very complicated, very quickly and isn't great for readability. It is unlikely to be implemented.
• Different Backends? eg a JVM compiler for larger projects, an interpreter for scripting, etc. Potentially will happen, may be more trouble than it's worth.
