The Tengo Language

GoDoc Go Report Card Build Status Sourcegraph

Tengo is a small, dynamic, fast, secure script language for Go.

Tengo is fast and secure because it's compiled/executed as bytecode on stack-based VM that's written in native Go.

/* The Tengo Language */

fmt := import("fmt")

each := func(seq, fn) {
    for x in seq { fn(x) }
}

sum := func(init, seq) {
    each(seq, func(x) { init += x })
    return init
}

fmt.println(sum(0, [1, 2, 3]))   // "6"
fmt.println(sum("", [1, 2, 3]))  // "123"
