**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()).
|
|
|
|
