A simple compiling language written in Rust

👾 | Quick Start

Steps to start writing on hiw-lang:

1. Install language (see in Installation)
2. Create file with .hiw extension
3. Write your first program:

// example.hiw

// Hello World program
print("Hello World!");

// Creating variables
a = 1;
b = 2;
c = a + b;

str1 = "Hello, ";
str2 = "World!";
print(str1 + str2);

// If/Else constructions
a = 1;
if a < 5 {
  print("less");
} else {
  print("bigger");
};

// Create functions
define foo(x) {
  print(x);
};

a = 2;

foo(1);
foo(a);

// Use functions on variables too!

a.foo();

// Use dynamic arrays
arr = [1, "string", true];

// Use cycles
a = 0;
while a < 5 {
  print(a);
  a = a + 1;
};

for i in 10 {
    print(i);
};

4. Compile and run it:

hiw example.hiw

5. Compile it to binary file:

hiw example.hiw output
./output
