Slogan is a general purpose functional programming language with facilities for concurrent and parallel computing.
- Dynamic and strong type system
- Rich library: data structures, I/O, networking
- Unicode support
- Efficient concurrency: execute tens-of-thousands of independent tasks
- Multi-core parallelism based on a simple message-passing model
- Declarative programming: reactive variables, pattern matching
- Polymorphism, multiple dispatch
- Hygienic and unhygienic syntax extensions
- REPL for fast program design and development
- Compiles to optimized stand-alone binaries
- Easy integration with C libraries
- Modules and namespaces for program organization
- Built-in package manager
$ sudo ./install
After the installation is complete, you can start the REPL by typing:
$ slogan
You can also install Slogan using explicit configure & make commands:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make test
$ sudo make install
This would be useful if you are hacking on the Slogan implementation itself.
If you skip system-wide installation, note that the slogan binary will be created
in the src folder and can be run as ./src/slogan.
Please visit http://schemer.in/slogan/ for tutorials and detailed documentation on the language.
Slogan is under active development and can be considered beta quality. Please report bugs/issues at https://github.com/vijaymathew/slogan/issues.
