Ludwig

Ludwig Programming Language The ludwig programming language is a fun little project I started in 2018. The goal was to create and interpreter for a programming langauge in which everything is an expression.

Note: This implementation of Ludwig is still under heavy development. As a result, this interpreter may be buggy or hard to install. Note that at this point, there are very few contibutors to this project. Having fewer eyes on the project results in messier and more inconsistant code!

Installation

Dependacies: In order to install this program at this point, you must have the compiler for golang installed.

Linux & MacOs

$ mkdir ~/go
$ cd go
$ mkdir src
$ cd src
$ git clone https://github.com/ludwigLanguage/ludwig.git
$ cd ./ludwig/bin
$ bash ./install.sh

Usage

ludwig -e <filename>.ldg #executes the the file

Hello World Program

println("Hello, World!")

A more advanced version of a greeter program might run as such:

mkGreeting = func(greet) {
	func(name) {
		print(greet + ", " + name) #Newline given at the end of read() call
	}
}

sayHello = mkGreeting("Hello")
name = read("Enter your name: ", "\n")
sayHello(name)
