The Chaos Programming LanguageTurn chaos into magic!

Taste one bit at a time

Save the below code snippet to a file named fibo.kaos

and run chaos fibo.kaos to have a little bit of taste.

// Fibonacci - Space Optimized

num def fibo(num n)
    num a = 0
    num b = 1
    num c = 0
    n - 1 times do
        c = a + b
        a = b
        b = c
    end
end {
    n == 0  : return a,
    n == 1  : return b,
    default : return b
}


num x = 1
20 times do
    print fibo(x)
    x++
end

Zero Cyclomatic Complexity

There are no control structures. (no if..else, no switch..case) Decision making only possible on function returns.

Always 100% Coverage

A single unit test is enough to have 100% coverage on functions, always.

Strongly Typed

Dynamic yet compilable, procedural programming paradigm combined with pure functions.

Safe & Sound

Immutable function call parameters, no segmentation faults, no stack smashing.

Discipline

Language's itself forces you to write less error-prone code with its decision blocks.

Modularity & Extensibility

Highly extensible with easy to develop Chaos C extensions. Incredibly modular with smart dependency checks.

Influenced by

TypeScript's type safety
Python's syntax, modules and extensibility
JavaScript's cross-platform support
Ruby's loops and blocks, Rexx's FOREVER keyword
PHP's dedication to server-side
Haskell's pure functions
C's speed and interoperability
Go's standalone executables
