Introduction to Flexa
Welcome to the Flexa Programming Language! Flexa is a toy scripting language developed for fun.
What is Flexa?
Flexa is a statically-typed, general-purpose scripting language that emphasizes simplicity, readability, and flexibility. It combines the best features of modern programming languages with a clean and intuitive syntax, making it easy to learn and use.
Key Features
- Simple and Clean Syntax: Flexa’s syntax is designed to be easy to read and write, reducing the cognitive load on developers.
- Strong Typing with Type Inference: Flexa ensures type safety while allowing you to omit type declarations when the type can be inferred.
- Standard Library: Flexa comes with a comprehensive set of built-in libraries for tasks like file handling, networking, data manipulation, and more.
- Cross-Platform: Flexa programs can run on multiple platforms without modification, thanks to its portable runtime.
- Extensible: Flexa allows you to create and use custom libraries, making it highly adaptable to your specific needs.
Getting Started
To start using Flexa, you’ll need to:
- Install the Flexa Interpreter: Download and install the Flexa interpreter and runtime from the official repository.
-
Write Your First Program: Create a
.flx
file and write your code. Here’s a simple example:namespace hello_world; fun main() { println("Hello, Flexa!"); } fun main();
-
Run Your Program: Use the Flexa interpreter to execute your code:
flexa hello_world.flx
- Explore the Documentation: Continue learning about Flexa by reading the Basic Syntax guide.
What’s Next?
Now that you have a basic understanding of Flexa, it’s time to dive deeper into its syntax and features. The next section, Basic Syntax, will introduce you to the fundamental building blocks of Flexa programs.
