Features

• Static-like Typing: Variables are declared with their types, providing clarity and robustness.
• Simplified Syntax: Uses {} for blocks and ; for newlines, similar to C-like languages.
• Python Interoperability: Seamlessly uses Python libraries and functions.
• Standard Library: Comes with a handy set of built-in functions for common tasks.

Installation

To get started with Clyp, you need to have Python installed. Then, you can install Clyp using pip:

pip install clyp

Want to install from source? Clone the repository and run:

git clone https://github.com/clyplang/clyp.git
cd clyp
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

The Clyp CLI allows you to execute .clyp files directly from your terminal.

• Run a file:

  clyp go path/to/your/file.clyp
  

• Check the version:

  clyp --version
  

• Display help:

  clyp --help
  

Language Syntax

Variables

Variables are declared with their type followed by the name and value.

int x = 10;
str message = "Hello, World!";
bool is_active = true;

Functions

Functions are defined using the def keyword, with type hints for arguments and a returns clause for the return type.

def greet(str name) returns None {
    print("Hello, " + name);
}

Conditionals

Clyp uses if, else if, and else for conditional logic.

int a = 10;
if (a > 5) {
    print("a is greater than 5");
} else {
    print("a is not greater than 5");
}

Comments

Comments start with #.

# This is a single-line comment

Standard Library

Clyp includes a standard library with useful functions:

• fetch(url: str): Fetches content from a URL.
• read_file(path: str): Reads a file's content.
• write_file(path: str, content: str): Writes content to a file.
• slugify(text: str): Converts a string into a URL-friendly slug.
• is_empty(value): Checks if a value is empty.
• is_prime(n: int): Checks if a number is prime.
• to_roman_numerals(num: int): Converts an integer to Roman numerals.

Development

To contribute to Clyp, you can set up a development environment:

pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Run tests using pytest:
