The Une Programming Language

Une (as in une-iverse) is a simple interpreted programming language inspired by C, JavaScript, and Python.

It was originally created as part of my 2021 Matura paper on creating a programming language, but has since turned into a personal playground for experimenting with software design and development tools.

Pre-built binaries can be found under releases.

Building

• Install Clang, CMake, and a build system of your choice (for example make).

• Create a build directory somewhere on your system and enter it.

• Run cmake <root> -G <gen>, where

  • <root> points to the root of this repository, and
  • <gen> is the generator for your build system.

  (To build the debug version, append -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug to the above command.)

• Compile the binary using your build system.

To run the test suite:

• Install Python 3.
• Build the debug version.
• Run test.py from within your build directory.

Getting Started

Run Une without any arguments to display its usage.

From there, check out some of the examples or refer to the documentation.

Language Support

The Une extension provides basic language support for Visual Studio Code.
