Arturo Arturo is a modern programming language, vaguely inspired by various other ones - including but not limited to Rebol, Forth, Ruby, Haskell, D, SmallTalk, Tcl and Lisp.

Principles[edit]

The language has been designed following some very simple and straightforward principles:

• Code is just a list of words and symbols
• Words and symbols within a block are interpreted - when needed - according to the context
• No reserved words or keywords - look for them as hard as you can; there are absolutely none

print "Hello world!"

loop 1..10 'x [
    if? even? x -> print [x "is even"]
    else        -> print [x "is odd"]
]

Implementation[edit]

The main compiler is implemented in Nim/C as a Bytecode interpreter / Stack-based VM and should run in most architectures.

The main goals are: performance, energy-efficiency and portability. (With that exact order)

License[edit]

Arturo is released under the MIT/X11 License.
