Squanchy is a brand new, easy to learn, general purpose, multi-paradigm, compiled programming language created by:
- Marcos V mv-lab
Student at University of Valladolid. Alumno de la Universidad de Valladolid.
Work on the language began on September, 2018.
Related to the courses: Algorithms and computing, Formal Grammars and Languages. Asignaturas relacionadas: Algoritmos y Computación, Gramáticas y Lenguajes formales.
The language is written from scratch (it includes an integrated lexer, parser, code generator etc).
Why?
- Python is lit, that's all, arguably one of the best programming languages ever.
- I wrote the same code in Haskell and Java. Now you see how concise, clean, and perfect is Haskell code:
final int LIMIT = 50;
int[] a = new int[LIMIT];
int[] b = new int [LIMIT-5];
for (int i=0; i< LIMIT; i++){
a[i] = (i+1)*2;
if (i >= 5) b(i-5)= [i];
}let a = [2,4...100]
let b = drop 5 a
So I tried to put together Python and Haskell (or at least the main features from both) in Squanchy.

Here is Fibonacci demo program written in Haskell and Squanchy. You can see more code example in example.
fib x
| x < 2 = 1
| otherwise = fib (x - 1) + fib (x - 2)
fib 1 = 1
fib 2 = 2
fib x = fib (x - 1) + fib (x - 2)
Squanchy:
fib (x) -> y ::
if x<2 then y:1 else y: fib(x-1)+fib(x-2)
fib (1) -> 1
fib (2) -> 2
fib(x) -> fib(x-1) + fib(x-2)
If you want to program in Squanchy now, see the tutorials for how to get started.
The features that are currently implemented are as follows:
- Primitive data types
List,String,IntandDouble - Operators (
+,-,*,/,**,%,:,=,>,<=,and,or, etc.) - Flow control (if/the/else, while loop)
- Constants and global variables
- Lists, Tuples and access
- Functions
- Lambda
The following features are coming soon:
- Flow control (ternary ?, for)
- Data structs
- Dictionaries
- array (like numpy)
- more default functions
- fixed visualisation module
- ...
This is an open source project.
