Nujel

A Lisp inspired language for games and other latency sensitive applications. Development started in order to give WolkenWelten a scripting layer.

Why Nujel?

Mostly because I wanted the following for WolkenWelten:

• A Lisp
• with static typing (still not implemented!)
• embeddable in C
• designed for beginners

Infix operations

One part that is quite different to most Lisps is that one can evaluate [display [1 + 2 * 3]] and get 7, as one would expect from other languages. This is due to each type having a convenience function associated to them, which is an infix evaluator in the case of the numeric types, or cat for strings and arr-ref for arrays. So you can also write [display ["The result is: " [1 + 1]]]. Or [display [#["Yay" "Nay"] 0]].

Trees / Maps

Nujel also has built-in support for maps using binary trees, including support by the reader for a convenient syntax to definie literals with, for example [@[:one 1 :two 2] :two] returns 2.

Try it out yourself

You can easily start experimenting with Nujel right in your Browser by using a WASM Release.
