Listed below are all of the tasks on Rosetta Code which have been solved using Arturo.

Arturo is an independently-developed, modern programming language, vaguely related to various other ones - including but not limited to Logo, Rebol, Forth, Ruby, Haskell, D, SmallTalk, Tcl and Lisp.

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

<lang rebol> factorial: function [n][ if? n > 0 -> n * factorial n-1 else -> 1 ]

loop 1..19 [x]-> print ["Factorial of" x "=" factorial x] </lang>

Implementation

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: expressiveness, brevity, performance and portability. (With that exact order)
