Roy Build Status

Roy is a small functional language that compiles to JavaScript. It has a few main features:

Usage

To compile:

make deps
make

To enter a REPL:

./roy

To compile and run a .roy file:

./roy -r examples/helloworld.roy

To compile a .roy file to .js:

./roy examples/helloworld.roy
cat examples/helloworld.js

Example

Input (test.roy):

let addTwo n =
    n + 2

console.log (addTwo 40)

Output (test.js):

var addTwo = function(n) {
    return n + 2;
}
console.log(addTwo(40))

Calling addTwo "test" will result in a compile-time error (addTwo can only take a Number).
