Headspace

A programming language that fits in your head. Headspace is a simple yet powerful programming language which compiles to multiple target programming languages. Envisioned as a way to build cross language libraries, it's pretty nifty.

Syntax

Define identifier/variable: name:type

Group/code block: [ ]

Examples

Simple Hello World

A single function program that prints "Hello World" to the terminal.

main:function:void[][
  os.print["Hello World\n"]
]

Declaring and calling Functions

A simple standalone function to demonstrate using types and returning values.

moduleName = "functions"

addNumbers:function:int32[a:int32, b:int32][
  return a + b
]

main:function:void[][
  os.printInt[addNumbers[5, 5]]
  os.print["\n"]
]

Getting started

To run the unit tests for the Headspace parser and translator, run the script:

cd v2
./run_tests
