Scone Programming Language (in development)

Scone is a simple yet powerful programming language currently in development.
Its syntax takes inspiration from Rust, C, and Java, aiming to be familiar, readable, and efficient.

Key Features

• Clean, familiar syntax (inspired by Rust, C, and Java)
• Operator overloading
• Type inference with auto
• Traits (like ToString)
• Strong typing with explicit type declarations
• Call tagged crumb functions without scoping when creating an instance of a class or struct
• Advanced features like lambda, default parameters in functions, and more

Example Code

pub class Color -> ToString{u8:R = 0;u8:G = 0;u8:B = 0;
#! crumb
staticColor:new(u8:r,u8:g,u8:b){Color{R = r,G = g,B = b
}}staticColor:white(){Color{R = 255,G = 255,B = 255}}staticColor:op_add(Color:color1,Color:color2){Color{R = color1.R + color2.R,G = color1.G + color2.G,B = color1.B + color2.B}}// Implements the ToString trait
string:to_string(){format("Color: R: %, G: %, B: %",R,G,B)}}
#! entry
void:main(){// Create a new Color object with default valuesColor: color1 = Color{};// The crumb tag allows the compiler to infer the `new` functionColor: color2 = new(255,255,255);// Accessing a static method that returns a white Color objectColor: white = Color::white();// Calling an instance method (implements ToString)print(color2.to_string());// Type inference with `auto`
auto: red = color2.R;// Operator overloadingColor: color3 = color1 + color2;}
