Itsy

Strongly typed scripting language with a rusty syntax and easy Rust integration written entirely in safe Rust.

State of the project: Feature-incomplete, totally NOT ready for production, syntax and APIs may change, expect many bugs and bad diagnostic. Possibly fun to play with.

Trying it

Clone the repository. It contains VSCode tasks to run the currently opened .itsy-source. Open a file (e.g. itsy/examples/mandelbrot.itsy) in the editor, run the task "cargo run file in runner". This will build the run application and use it to run the opened file.

Installation

Add the following to our Cargo.toml to make Itsy avaialble in your project.

[dependencies] itsy = "0.4"

Integration

Once installed it can be used in your project like this:

```rust use itsy::{itsyapi, buildstr, run};

// Define an API of Rust functions that are callable from the Itsy script. itsy_api!(MyAPI, (), { fn print(&mut context, value: &str) { println!("print: {}", value); } // ... more functions ... });

fn main() { // Build the itsy program and link it to the MyAPI API we created above. let program = build_str::(" // An Itsy program that calls the Rust 'print' function. fn main() { print(\"Hello from Itsy!\"); } ").unwrap();

run(&program, &mut ()).unwrap();

} ```
