'''Night''' is an interpreted programming language made by [https://www.github.com/DynamicSquid DynamicSquid] that combines the simplicity of [https://www.python.org Python] with the type concepts of the C family. Its official website is [https://night-web.dynamicsquid.repl.co here] and the source code is [https://github.com/DynamicSquid/Night here]. |

'''Night''' is an interpreted language that focuses on simplicity and usability. The main goal of Night is to design an intuitive and safe language. It's dynamically typed and semi-weak. |

== Built-in functions == |

Right now the only built-in function is <code>print</code>, similar to C's <code>printf</code>. It takes a string as an argument and prints it to the screen (like C, but unlike Python, without a newline). |

What makes Night differ from other dynamically typed languages is its compile time checking. Whereas a language like Python wouldn't type check a variable, nor check if a variable even exists or not at compile time, Night fills this gap, eliminating hidden runtime bugs and providing a more reliable usage. |

Night is an interpreted language that focuses on simplicity and usability. The main goal of Night is to design an intuitive and safe language. It's dynamically typed and semi-weak.
What makes Night differ from other dynamically typed languages is its compile time checking. Whereas a language like Python wouldn't type check a variable, nor check if a variable even exists or not at compile time, Night fills this gap, eliminating hidden runtime bugs and providing a more reliable usage.
Also note that Night is still fairly new in the development process.
