A small, statically-typed programming language.

Heavily inspired by LISP, the syntax is based on s-expressions. SHOULD NOT BE used in a real program (for now).

Focus is on embedability and simplicity.

Tutorial

  1. Number types These are the number types in tuna: u16, u32, u64, f32, f64, i16, i32, i64.

  2. Structs Structs types are created like this: (def_struct Name (member_name member_type)) Ex: (def_struct Person (id u64) (name string) (age u16)) Structs are created like this: (new StructName (member_name expression)) Ex: (new Person (id (get_member person id)) (name (get_member person name)) (age (+ (get_member person age) 1u16))) And members are accessed like this: (get_member struct field) Ex: (get_member person id)

  3. Functions Functions are defined like this: (def_function name (argument_name argument_type) result_type expression) Ex: (def_function age_person ((person Person) Person) (new Person (id (get_member person id)) (name (get_member person name)) (age (+ (get_member person age) 1u16))))
