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.

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 v3
./run_tests

Syntax

Define identifier/variable: name: type

Group/code block: { }

Define function: name: function: return_type (params) {statements}

Define class: name: class {members and methods}
