PolyPrime 🎯

PolyPrime is a multi-paradigm programming language that compiles to multiple target languages including Python, JavaScript, and more. Write once, deploy everywhere.

✨ Features

• 🎯 Multi-Target Compilation: Compile to Python, JavaScript, with more targets coming
• 🚀 Simple Syntax: Clean, easy-to-learn syntax inspired by modern languages
• 🔧 Extensible: Easy to add new compilation targets
• 📦 Lightweight: Minimal dependencies, fast compilation
• 🎨 Modern: Designed for today's polyglot development environment

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install polyprime

Your First Program

Create a file hello.pp:

function main() {
    let message = "Hello, PolyPrime!";
    print(message);
    return 0;
}

Compile and run:

# Compile to Python
polyprime compile hello.pp --target python

# Compile to JavaScript
polyprime compile hello.pp --target javascript

# Run directly
polyprime run hello.pp

📝 Language Syntax

Variables

let x = 42;           // Mutable variable
const pi = 3.14159;   // Immutable constant

Functions

function add(a, b) {
    return a + b;
}

function greet(name) {
    print("Hello, " + name);
}

Control Flow

if (x > 0) {
    print("Positive");
} else {
    print("Non-positive");
}

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    print(i);
}

while (condition) {
    // loop body
}

🎯 Compilation Targets

Target	Status	Extension
Python	✅ Ready	.py
JavaScript	✅ Ready	.js
TypeScript	🚧 Coming Soon	.ts
Rust	🚧 Planned	.rs
Go	🚧 Planned	.go

🛠️ CLI Usage

# Initialize a new project
polyprime init myproject

# Compile a file
polyprime compile source.pp --target python

# Run a program
polyprime run source.pp

# Show version
polyprime --version

# Get help
polyprime --help

📦 API Usage

from polyprime import Compiler

# Create compiler instance
compiler = Compiler()

# Compile source code
source = """
function main() {
    let x = 42;
    return x;
}
"""

# Compile to Python
python_code = compiler.compile(source, target="python")
print(python_code)

# Compile to JavaScript
js_code = compiler.compile(source, target="javascript")
print(js_code)

🎯 Use Cases

• Educational: Learn programming concepts that translate across languages
• Prototyping: Quickly prototype in one language, deploy in another
• Migration: Gradually migrate codebases between languages
• Polyglot Teams: Let team members work in a unified syntax
