Lax is a high-level, user-friendly programming language developed by Lax Inc. It is engineered to be a normal, very easy-to-learn language that provides a smooth experience for developers. While it can create native Linux binaries and handle system-level tasks, its design focuses on simplicity and readability, making it accessible for everyone.
The design philosophy of Lax prioritizes intuitive abstractions over unnecessary complexity. Unlike complicated languages, Lax allows you to get results quickly with minimal code, providing a powerful yet "light" environment for modern development.
- File Extension:
.lx - Execution Model: Direct execution / Native Linux Binary
- Paradigm: High-level Multi-paradigm / Functional-Logic
- Instruction Set: Total of 143 core commands (137 operations in
com.hand 6 interface functions inLax.cexamplehelporexitetc.)
The Lax compiler is designed to be modern and efficient. It supports standard character processing, allowing developers to work with text and data in a natural way. The internal logic is optimized to handle string operations without the burden of manual bit-level manipulation found in older systems.
The instruction set is concise and powerful, containing a total of 143 commands (137 defined in com.h and 6 core interfaces in Lax.c). All commands are strictly lowercase and follow a logical, easy-to-remember structure.
Example Syntax Logic:
- Functions and execution calls are structured for maximum clarity.
- Text comments or metadata like assembly language:
; Example comment. - High-level abstractions handle I/O operations, keeping the code clean and readable.
The project is completely open source, and you can download and edit it. It is also licensed under the Lax MIT License.
