Lily
Lily is a programming language focused on expressiveness and type safety.
Sample
scoped enum Color { Black, Blue, Cyan, Green, Magenta, Red, White, Yellow }
class Terminal(var @foreground: Color, width_str: String)
{
public var @width = width_str.parse_i().unwrap_or(80)
public define set_fg(new_color: Color) {
@foreground = new_color
}
}
var terms = [Terminal(Color.White, "A"), Terminal(Color.Red, "40")]
terms.each(, e, e.width += 20 ), > print
Features
Templating
By default, Lily runs in standalone mode where all content is code to
execute. But Lily can also be run in template mode. In template mode,
code is between <?lily ... ?> tags. When a file is imported, it's always
loaded in standalone mode, so that it doesn't accidentally send headers.
Files that are imported are also namespaced (no 'global namespace').
Embeddable
Lily may be a statically-typed language, but the reference implementation is an
interpreter. The interpreter as well as its API have been carefully designed
with sandboxing in mind. As a result, it's possible to have multiple
interpreters exist alongside each other.
Shorter edit cycle
Another benefit from having the reference implementation as an interpreter is a
shorter turn around time. The interpreter's parser is comparable in speed to
that of languages using an interpreter as their reference.
Building
You need a C compiler and CMake (3.0.0 +). There are no external dependencies.
To build Lily, execute the following in a terminal:
cmake .
make
Note: Windows users may need to add -G"Unix Makefiles" to the end of the cmake
invocation.
The above will build the lily executable, as well as a liblily that you can
use with your program. It also builds pre-commit-tests.
Running tests
The centerpiece of Lily's testing is test_main.lily in the test directory.
That file imports and invokes a large number of tests that cover a lot of Lily.
The make command also builds covlib and pre-commit-tests. No additional
commands are necessary. covlib is a library that tests some parts of Lily that
native code can't test. pre-commit-tests is a special runner that executes
test_main.lily.
To run Lily's tests, execute pre-commit-tests from the directory it's in after
building Lily.
Community
Lily is a very young language and the community is still growing.
-
Discord: Lily to chat with others in real-time.
-
IRC: freenode #lily is
another way to chat with others. -
Reddit: /r/lily for discussion around the
language and providing support to new users.
