the janet programming language.
|
|
|
|
Janet is a programming language for system scripting,
|
|
expressive automation, and extending programs written
|
|
in C or C++ with user scripting capabilities.
|
|
|
|
Janet makes a good system scripting language, or a
|
|
language to embed in other programs. It's like Lua
|
|
and GNU Guile in that regard. It has more built-in
|
|
functionality and a richer core language than Lua, but
|
|
smaller than GNU Guile or Python. However, it is much
|
|
easier to embed and port than Python or Guile.
|
|
|
|
There is a REPL for trying out the language, as well
|
|
as the ability to run script files. This client program
|
|
is separate from the core runtime, so Janet can be
|
|
embedded in other programs. Try Janet in your browser
|
|
at https://janet-lang.org.
