The Rotom Programming language

Yes, the pokemon

This is an in progress implementation of a js transpiled programming language, it aims to have a simply yet powerful syntax.

Usage

python3 rotomc.py path/to/file

Help

python3 rotomc.py --help

Example:

fn fact(x) -> 1 if x == 0 else x * fact(x - 1)

fn main() {
    let mut i = 0;
    let n = 5;
    while i < n {
        print "fact(" + i + "): " + fact(i);
        i = i + 1;
    }
}

JS transpilation:

function fact(x) {
  return x === 0 ? 1 : x * fact(x - 1);
}

function main() {
  let i = 0;
  const n = 5;
  while (i < n) {
    console.log("fact(" + i + "): " + fact(i));
    i = i + 1;
  }
}

main();
