Simple compiled language for building reliable software.

This repository contains the compiler, standard library and documentation for Bait.

fun main() {
    println('hello world')
}

Note: Bait is in an alpha state. Incomplete features are marked with 🚧. Breaking changes may occur.

• Clean, simple and consistent syntax
• Type and memory safety with immutability by default
• JavaScript backend (NodeJS, 🚧 Web)
• 🚧 C backend
• Cross-platform support (Linux, Windows)

• Language Overview
• Examples and Rosetta Code

Right now Bait has to be compiled from source. Precompiled binaries will be available in the future.

Required dependencies: git and NodeJS >= 16

Linux:

git clone https://github.com/tiabeast/bait
cd bait
./make.sh
sudo ./bait symlink

Windows:

git clone https://github.com/tiabeast/bait
cd bait
./make.bat

# In admin shell:
./bait.bat symlink

Now you should have Bait compiled to JS at <repo>/bait.js.

Due to the symlinked wrapper script, the compiler can be used like bait run examples/hello_world.bt.

To update Bait to the latest commit, run bait up.
