YZ is a fast, easy-to-learn, robust programming language. Its compiler is written in Go.

• Fast execution (it is faster and uses less memory than Python, Ruby, Node.JS, and PHP)
• Intuitive syntax
• Variables
• Functions
• Types
• Conditional statements and loops
• Error handling
• Standard library
• Filesystem library
• GUI library
• HTTP request library
• Cross-platform compatable

For this to work, you need to be using Linux and have Bash installed. Download the YZ installer (written in YZ!) and run it. Then, open a Bash terminal and run yz. If it tells you the usage of the command, it's installed!

Go to the releases page and download the yz-linux-amd64 file. Next, simply open a terminal and run ./yz-linux-amd64. If it says you cannot execute it, you may need to do, chmod +x yz-linux-amd64.

To use this method, you will need Go installed. Learn how to install it here or just install the golang package from your system's package manager.

git clone https://github.com/VeryUsual/yz
go build main.go
./main examples/0.yz

You can then add the main executable to your Bash aliases as yz for easier access!

Go to the releases page and download the yz-windows-amd64.exe file. Next, simply open a terminal and run ./yz-windows-amd64.exe.

You will need Go installed. Learn how to install it here.

git clone https://github.com/VeryUsual/yz
go build main.go
./main.exe examples/0.yz

println("Hello, world!");

Find more examples in the examples/ directory.

let x = 5;
let y = 6;
let z = x + y;
println(z);
let z = 4;

Variables are modified using let var = value, var = value is incorrect syntax.

func add(first_number, second_number) {
    let result = first_number + second_number;
    return result;
}

func sub(first_number, #arbitrary_params_allowed) {
    return first_number - second_number;
}

let x = add(first_number 4, second_number 3);
let y = sub(first_number 5, second_number 8);

To specify parameters in function calls, you must put the parameter name, space, then your desired value. The indicator #arbitrary_params_allowed inside a function declaration's parameters means that any parameters will be accepted, but, keep in mind, if those parameters are referenced to and not passed, there will be an error.

if 5 >= 3 {
    println("5 is larger or equal to 3");
}

let x = 4;
while x < 5 {
    println(x);
    let x = x + 1;
}


import stdlib;

let arr = List_Make();

List_Append(list arr, value "one");
List_Append(list arr, value 2);
List_Append(list arr, value "three");

gothru arr as element {
    println(element);
}
