| Hey guys, I'm the creator of Nulan. There were some bugs in the tutorial, which I fixed just now. If the tutorial wasn't working for you, please try again. ---- This is a pleasant surprise: I honestly was not expecting this, since Nulan is not yet ready to show off. As explained on the GitHub page, Nulan is currently in development, and does not work. The tutorial is for a very old version of Nulan from January 2013. From 2013 to 2016, Nulan has changed dramatically. The latest design of Nulan barely resembles the tutorial. Probably the biggest change is that Nulan is now statically typed rather than dynamically typed. Its type system is very similar to Haskell, SML, OCaml, etc. Nulan is a purely functional language, like Haskell. Impure I/O is done using the Task monad. Nulan also has a feature which is very similar to Haskell's typeclasses, giving a great amount of extensibility, flexibility, and abstraction. ---- The current goal of Nulan is to merge the benefits of Haskell and Lisp, while compiling to very efficient JavaScript code which can run in either the browser or Node.js I put a heavy emphasis on readability, correctness, performance, and refactoring. I want Nulan to be the kind of language which makes refactoring programs very easy. ---- If you want a taste of the latest version of Nulan, I recommend taking a look at this file: https://github.com/Pauan/nulan/blob/f008287f9ddeeffa0f20aa0d... It lists all of the major features which are currently in Nulan's design. Things are still in major flux, and are constantly changing. ---- Nulan has been designed to make it easy to create high quality libraries, and it includes a robust standard library, which you can find here: https://github.com/Pauan/nulan/tree/f008287f9ddeeffa0f20aa0d... As proof of how rapidly Nulan is changing, some parts of the standard library are using older Nulan syntax. They will eventually be updated to the latest syntax. ---- Nulan also has an FFI system, which makes it possible to use JavaScript libraries in Nulan, bypass the static type system, add new features, or gain additional performance. A significant amount of Nulan's standard library is written using the FFI, which you can find here: https://github.com/Pauan/nulan/tree/f008287f9ddeeffa0f20aa0d... |
