What is Rip

Rip is a new general purpose programming language emphasizing developer ergonomics, consistency and correctness.

Development Status

In progress. Use at your own risk. Nothing works yet!

License

Rip is released under the Apache 2.0 license. Please see LICENSE.txt for more details.

(Planned) Features

• no globals (except for a short list of pre-defined references)
• robust object literal syntax for many constructs, including date/time and unit values
• lexical scoping
• structural typing
• type inference
• static name resolution
• tail call optimization
• lazy iteration
• first-class types and functions (types and functions may be passed around and assigned to references/properties just like anything else)
• implicit returns from last statement in a block
• exception handling
• pattern matching

Getting Help

If you find a bug or have any other issue, please open a ticket. You should include as many details as reasonably possible, such as your operating system and the Rip source code that broke et cetera.

Contributing

Patches are most welcome! Please make changes in a feature branch that merges into master cleanly. Existing tests should not break, and new code needs new tests.
