The NG Programming Language

NG is a static-typed, multiple paradigm programming language designed for efficiency and productivity. It is a general purpose programming language focused on system programming with implementations in C++, Kotlin, and OCaml.

Features

• Static typing with type inference
• Multiple programming paradigms (functional, imperative, OOP)
• Module system with imports
• Smart pointers for memory safety
• Cross-platform (macOS, Linux, Windows)

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• CMake 4.0+
• C++23 compatible compiler (GCC, Clang, MSVC)
• Make or Ninja

Building

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

Running Examples

./build/ngi example/01.id.ng

Documentation

• Quick Start Guide
• Language Reference
• Grammar Specification
• Internals

Examples

Check the examples directory for sample NG code:

• Basic syntax: 01.id.ng, 02.many_defs.ng
• Functions and calls: 03.funcall_and_idexpr.ng
• Data structures: 06.array.ng, 07.object.ng
• Modules: 08.imports.ng

Legacy Implementations

The project includes legacy implementations in:

• Kotlin
• OCaml

Testing

Run tests with:

cd build && ctest

Roadmap

• Assignment Operator
• module & import
• Using Smart Pointers to Avoid Memory Leaks (Interpreter)
• Operator Overloading
• Compile to Native
• Naive Type Checking
• Bytecode Based Runtime - ORGASM (Organized Assembly)
