**Lamb** is a toy dynamically typed functional programming language
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's not meant for real-world use but for educational purposes on writing an interpreter with pattern matching in Haskell.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Features**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* No re-assignment (i.e., once you bind a value, you can't re-assign it)
|
||
|
|
* Pattern matching
|
||
|
|
f([]) -> "nothing".
|
||
|
|
f([a]) -> one thing".
|
||
|
|
* Imperative I/O
|
||
|
|
* Higher-order functions
|
||
|
|
* Partial evaluation on curried functions
|

** Hello World! **
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`examples/helloworld.lamb`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
hello(object) -> object + "!".
|
||
|
|
hello() -> "hello, " + hello("world").
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
putstrln(hello()).
