The Diatom Programming Language

A dynamic typed scripting language for embedded use in applications.

Warning: Project is underdevelopment is not useable now.

Features

• Gradual Typing: Support for optional type hint.
• Nil Safety: Nil can not be passed to variable unless specially permitted.
• Runtime type checking: Type checking is enforced by runtime. This means compiler will be able to optimize your code based on type hints.
• Native Speed: Given every variable is marked, diatom is able to theoretically reach C/C++ level speed.
• Security: Diatom is completely isolated and is only able to interact with its host.
• Full Functional Programming: Full support for HKT, functor and so on.
