lamb/README.md

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
• Lexical scope

Hello World!

From examples/helloworld.lamb:

hello() -> "hello, " + hello("world").
hello(object) -> object + "!".

putstrln(hello()).

See other examples in the examples directory.
