Hash Programming Language

Scripting language for the JVM with the following characteristics:

• C style syntax
• Semicolons or linefeeds can be used to terminate statements
• Variables don't need to be declared
• All operators are overloadable
• Dynamic typing
• No reflection/invokedynamic is used for interfacing with java code. Instead of reflection, 'Bridge classes' are generated at runtime that will acomplish the job much faster.
• Classes/functions are objects
• Classes can easily be created/modified at runtime allowing easy meta-programming
• Coroutines(implemented using generators and trampoline objects)
• Simple REPL interpreter

Configuration for eclipse development(need to have the ANTLRIDE plugin installed/configured):

mvn eclipse:configure-workspace -Declipse.workspace=<path to your workspace>
mvn eclipse:eclipse # (Creates eclipse project)

Using the REPL interpreter:

mvn test -Prepl

Todo:

• Compile to JVM bytecode(for now a very simple vm is used for interpreting an internal format)
• Allow java to invoke hash code
