Blade

Website | Source

Blade is a simple, clean, and embeddable dynamic programming language created to be simple enough for beginners, yet powerful and expressive for professionals. It has a very small syntax set with a very low learning curve. Blade improves upon the best features of JavaScript, Python, and Ruby to give developers a familiar and powerful system that feels native for developers coming from any of these languages and an easy way to leverage the strength of any.

How does it differ from Python and Ruby?

First-class package management (Package management is built into the language module system).
Iterable classes.
Backend development without any external dependencies.
Function promotion.
Default exports and imports.
Anonymous functions.
Access modifiers for variables, properties, function, class, modules, etc.
Decorator functions.
Function overrides in classes — A class can chose the result to return for a function if the function allows it.
Easy to extend with C modules with a familiar API to Wren.

Examples

HTTP API

import http
import json

var server = http.server(3000)
server.on_receive(|request, response| {
  response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
  response.write(json.encode(request))
})

echo 'Listening on Port 3000...'
server.listen()
