Senegal is a powerful, small-but-fast, concurrent, class-based, and dynamically-typed programming language with a modern syntax.

Sample Senegal Program

class Senegal {
    var name;

    Senegal(name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    
    function talk(msg) {
        println(this.name + " says: " + msg);
    }
}

var mel = Senegal("Mel");
mel.talk("Hello world!"); // Mel says: Hello World

Features

• Fast single-pass compiler
• Dynamically typed
