Ntha Programming Language

Build Status zjhmale Haskell Hackage Hackage-Deps

a tiny statically typed functional programming language.

Installation

  • brew install z3
  • cabal install ntha

Features

  • Global type inference with optional type annotations.
  • Lisp flavored syntax with Haskell like semantic inside.
  • Support basic types: Integer, Character, String, Boolean, Tuple, List and Record.
  • Support unicode keywords.
  • Support destructuring.
  • ADTs and pattern matching.
  • Haskell like type signature for type checking.
  • Refined types (still in early stage, just support basic arithmetic operations and propositinal logic, here is some examples), based on z3-encoding
  • Module system (still in early stage, lack of namespace control).
  • Support pattern matching on function parameters.
  • Lambdas and curried function by default.
  • Global and Local let binding.
  • Recursive functions.
  • If-then-else / Cond control flow.
  • Type alias.
  • Do notation.
  • Begin block.
