Getting Started

MLang is a statically typed, interpreted scripting language. Every program begins in a main() function.

Install

curl -fsSL https://lizzyman04.github.io/mlang/install.sh | sh

Your first program

Create hello.mth:

main() {
    print("Hello, MLang!");
}

Run it:

mlang hello.mth

Output:

Hello, MLang!

Variables

MLang is statically typed. Declare variables with an explicit type:

main() {
    int age = 25;
    dec pi  = 3.14159;
    txt msg = "ready";
    bool ok = true;

    print(age + 1);
    print("Message: " + msg);
}

Control flow

main() {
    int n = 7;

    if n > 5 {
        print("big");
    } else {
        print("small");
    }

    for i in 0..5 {
        print(i);
    }
}
