Ginger

A programming language utilizing a graph datastructure for syntax. Currently in super-early-alpha-don't-actually-use-this-for-anything development.

Development

Current efforts on ginger are focused on a golang-based virtual machine, which will then be used to bootstrap the language.

If you are on a machine with nix installed, you can run:

nix develop

from the repo root and you will be dropped into a shell with all dependencies (including the correct go version) in your PATH, ready to use.

An example program which computes the Nth fibonacci number can be found at examples/fib.gg. You can try it out by doing:

go run ./cmd/eval/main.go "$(cat examples/fib.gg)" 5

Where you can replace 5 with any number.
