Rye language

3 years ago by Andy to c/concatenative

From the homepage:

Rye is a high level, homoiconic dynamic programming language based on ideas from Rebol, flavored by Factor, Linux shell and Go. It's still in development, but we are focused on making it useful as soon as possible.

It's written in Go and could also be seen as Go's scripting companion as Go's libraries are very easy to integrate, and Rye can be embedded into Go programs as a scripting or a config language.

I believe that as a language becomes higher level it starts bridging the gap towards user interfaces. Rye has great emphasis on interactive use (Rye console) where we intend to also explore that.

concatenative and homoiconic? Looks like an easy language to learn from, will look into it 👍

Ohhh, they've got a bit of a GUI framework 👀 My interests is peaked.

Hello!

This space is for sharing news, experiences, announcements, questions, showcases, etc. regarding concatenative programming concepts and tools.

We'll also take any programming described as:

  • pipelined
  • stack-oriented
  • tacit
  • postfix / reverse Polish notation (RPN)
  • fluent
  • cascading
  • chained

From Wikipedia:

A concatenative programming language is a point-free computer programming language in which all expressions denote functions, and the juxtaposition of expressions denotes function composition. Concatenative programming replaces function application, which is common in other programming styles, with function composition as the default way to build subroutines.

For example, a sequence of operations in an applicative language like the following:

y = foo(x)
z = bar(y)
w = baz(z)

...is written in a concatenative language as a sequence of functions:

x foo bar baz

Let me know if I've got any of these misplaced!

Concatenative-ish, Chain-y, Pipe-y, Uniform Function Call Syntax, etc.
