Tite

Tite is a programming language designed to be concise, intuitive, and efficient.

main: () => print("hello, world")

Key Features

• Familiar Syntax: Blends the familiarity of Python, Rust, Go, and JavaScript.
• Zero Keywords: Utilizes special characters for mutability, visibility, and type declarations.
• Multi-Paradigm: Supports both object-oriented and functional programming.

Philosophy

Tite aims to provide a strict and concise coding environment, allowing developers to write clear and efficient code without being overwhelmed by numerous keywords.

There are only a few basic rules in Tite:

1. Declarations use the format identifier: type = expression, where the type is optional.
2. Unless preceded by a tag (special character), identifiers are immutable and private by default.

Programming languages often become more complex with the addition of new features. Tite avoids this by using a limited number of tags; . for visibility, $ for mutability, # for types, etc. This minimalist approach simplifies and unifies the declaration process, ensuring the language remains intuitive and consistent.

Example Code

Variable Declaration

language := "Tite" // Type inference
$counter: int = 0 // Mutable binding
.version: str = "1.0.0" // Public visibility

Function Declaration

mul: (a:int, b:int) => a * b
$result := mul(5, 5)

div: (a:int, b:int) float => {
    d: float = a
    (d / b) // Return value
}
result = div(5, 3)

Type Definition

#point := {
    x: int
    y: int
    .dist: () => (x**2 + y**2)**(1/2)
}
pos: point = {3, 4}
print(pos.dist()) // Output: 5

Inheritance and Overriding

#Animal := {
    .move: () => print("moving")
}

#Mammal: Animal = {
    .walk: () => print("walking")
    .move = walk // Override move with walk
}

dog: Mammal = {}
dog.move() // Output: walking
