Introduction

This is a statically and strongly typed language written in Go, the syntax of Java and Go is referenced.

The current version is for study and experimentation only.

hello_world.gs:

println("hello world");

❯ gscript hello_world.gs
hello world

Features

• Class declaration.
• Function declaration and call.
• Primitive type: int/string/float/bool.
• Array type.
• nil type.
• Function type.
• Closure：Functions as First-Class Objects.
• Native function: len()/hash()/assertEqual().
• Standard library：Map/LinkedList/Array.
• Native support json.
• Native support http.

Demo

Hello world

println("hello world");

Print fibonacci

func int() fun(){
    int a = 0;
    int b = 1;
    int fibonacci(){
        int c = a;
        a = b;
        b = a+c;
        return c;
    }
    return fibonacci;
}

func int() f = fib();

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
    println(f());
}

Syntax

Primitive

The current version supports four primitive type: int/string/float/bool and nil type.

Variable declaration syntax: type identifier (= expr)?.

int a=10;
string b,c;
float e = 10.1;
bool f = false;

Array

Array declaration syntax: ('[' DECIMAL_LITERAL ']')? '{' (variableInitializer (',' variableInitializer)* (',')? )? '}'

// Declare and initialize
int[] a={1,2,3};
println(a);

// Declare an empty array and specify the length
int[] table = [4]{};

println();
// Append data to array.
a = append(a,4);
println(a);
for(int i=0;i<len(a);i++){
	println(a[i]);
}

// Access to data by index.
int b=a[2];
println(b);

Class

class ListNode{
    int value;
    ListNode next;
    ListNode(int v, ListNode n){
        value =v;
        next = n;
    }
}

// The new keyword is not required to call the constructor.
ListNode l1 = ListNode(1, nil);

// Using . to access object property or method.
println(l1.value);

The default comes with a parameterless constructor

class Person{
	int age=10;
	string name="abc";
	int getAge(){
		return 100+age;
	}
}

// parameterless constructor
Person xx= Person();
println(xx.age);
assertEqual(xx.age, 10);
println(xx.getAge());
assertEqual(xx.getAge(), 110);

function

// cycle linked list
bool hasCycle(ListNode head){
    if (head == nil){
        return false;
    }
    if (head.next == nil){
        return false;
    }

    ListNode fast = head.next;
    ListNode slow = head;
    bool ret = false;
    for (fast.next != nil){
        if (fast.next == nil){
            return false;
        }
        if (fast.next.next == nil){
            return false;
        }
        if (slow.next == nil){
            return false;
        }
        if (fast == slow){
            ret = true;
            return true;
        }

        fast = fast.next.next;
        slow = slow.next;
    }
    return ret;
}

ListNode l1 = ListNode(1, nil);
bool b1 =hasCycle(l1);
println(b1);
assertEqual(b1, false);

ListNode l4 = ListNode(4, nil);
ListNode l3 = ListNode(3, l4);
ListNode l2 = ListNode(2, l3);
bool b2 = hasCycle(l2);
println(b2);
assertEqual(b2, false);

l4.next = l2;
bool b3 = hasCycle(l2);
println(b3);
assertEqual(b3, true);

Function declaration syntax: typeTypeOrVoid? IDENTIFIER formalParameters ('[' ']')*

add(int a){}

When there is no return value, the return type can also be ignored.

Closure

Function type syntax: func typeTypeOrVoid '(' typeList? ')'

// External variable, global shared.
int varExternal =10;
func int(int) f1(){
	// Closure variable.
	int varInner = 20;
	int innerFun(int a){
		println(a);
		int c=100;
		varExternal++;
		varInner++;
		return varInner;
	}
	return innerFun;
}

// f2 is a function type, the return type and parameter are both int.
func int(int) f2 = f1();
for(int i=0;i<2;i++){
	println("varInner=" + f2(i) + ", varExternal=" + varExternal);
}
println("=======");
func int(int) f3 = f1();
for(int i=0;i<2;i++){
	println("varInner=" + f3(i) + ", varExternal=" + varExternal);
}

Output:

0
varInner=21, varExternal=11
1
varInner=22, varExternal=12
=======
0
varInner=21, varExternal=13
1
varInner=22, varExternal=14

Standard library

Standard library source code: https://github.com/crossoverJie/gscript/tree/main/internal

Native function

int[] a={1,2,3};
// len return array length.
println(len(a));

// Append data to array.
a = append(a,4);
println(a);
// output: [1,2,3,4]

// Assert function
assertEqual(len(a),4);

// Return hashcode
int hashcode = hash(key);

MapString

HashMap where both key and value are string.

int count =100;
MapString m1 = MapString();
for (int i=0;i<count;i++){
	string key = i+"";
	string value = key;
	m1.put(key,value);
}
println(m1.getSize());
assertEqual(m1.getSize(),count);

for (int i=0;i<count;i++){
	string key = i+"";
	string value = m1.get(key);
	println("key="+key+ ":"+ value);
	assertEqual(key,value);
}
