SahajCore

A minimalist, dynamically-typed programming language with a self-hosting interpreter — an interpreter for SahajCore, written in SahajCore itself.

Features

• Clean C/JS-like syntax: let, fn, if/else, while, return
• Data types: number, string, bool, list, dict, null
• First-class functions with closures & recursion
• Built-in self-hosting: selfhost.sahaj runs target.sahaj

Run a program

python3 main.py hello.sahaj

REPL

python3 main.py --repl

Self-Hosting (Bootstrapping)

python3 main.py selfhost.sahaj

This runs the SahajCore interpreter (written in SahajCore) which then executes target.sahaj.

Example

fn fib(n) { if n < 2 { return n } return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2) } let i = 0 while i < 10 { print("fib(" + str(i) + ") = " + str(fib(i))) i = i + 1 }
