A tiny language called Z

A strict, impure, curried, partially applied language with rather peculiar syntax. See documentation.

Setup

Z is currently implemented in Haskell.

You can download Haskell here.

After installing Haskell, you should be able to do

$ cd <path/to/z/dir>
$ ghc Setup.hs
$ ./Setup configure
$ ./Setup build

which will yield a binary in dist/build/z/z.

When run, it provides an interactive prompt that evaluates Z.

If you want to run the contents of a file, you can use shell redirection:

$ ./dist/build/z/z < examples.zz
