UniteScript

Redefining the right tool for the right job

UniteScript is currently just a proof of concept, but through the power of Web Assembly and Emscripten, this small proof concept can run JavaScript, C++, and C all in the same language.

Take a look at example.us

As you might have been able to tell, the concept is to run functions in different languages and use them interchangeably.

All C and C++ functions are bundled into WASM and JavaScript files then called on by the functions that were transpiled into the main JavaScript file.

Want to give it a try?

First install Emscripten (info on how to install here)

Then install the NPM package npm install unitescript -g # or yarn global add unitescript

Run usc <unitescript-file> OR usc to compile every UniteScript file recursively in the working directory

Writing in UniteScript

UniteScript is closely integrated with JavaScript and as such anything outside of a function is treated as JavaScript

In order to create a function in another language like C or C++, write your function or class method like so:

function example(): c<void> {
  printf("It's that simple!");
}

// Or

class Test {
  example(): c++<void> {
    std::cout << "It's this simple" << std::endl;
  }
}

Until a vscode extension is released, the best syntax highlighting in vscode is probably Java
