Nois

Statically typed programming language for the web

Taste of Nois

use std::{ math::pi, iter::MapAdapter }

trait Area {
    fn area(self): Float
}

type Shape {
    Rect(width: Float, height: Float),
    Circle(radius: Float),
}

impl Area for Shape {
    fn area(self): Float {
        match self {
            Shape::Rect(width, height) { width * height }
            Shape::Circle(radius) { pi * radius ^ 2. }
        }
    }
}

pub fn main() {
    let shapes: List<Shape> = [
        Shape::Rect(width: 4., height: 2.),
        Shape::Circle(radius: 12.34),
    ]
    println(
        shapes
            .iter()
            .map(|s| s.area())
            .collect<List<_>>()
            .show()
    )
}

Features

• Expressive type system
• Variant types and pattern matching
• Type class polymorphism with traits
• Errors are a part of a function type signature (using std::result::Result return type)
• Automatic memory management
• Implicit last block line returns
