hoon

====
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
hoon is our programming language.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
hoon is a strict, typed, functional language that compiles itself to
|
||
|
|
nock. The hoon compiler is 4000 lines of hoon. Adding standard
|
||
|
|
libraries, the self-compiling kernel is 8000 lines. The hoon compiler is
|
||
|
|
located towards the bottom of `/=main=/arvo/hoon.hoon`. The standard
|
||
|
|
library is split between `/=main=/arvo/hoon.hoon` and
|
||
|
|
`/=main=/arvo/zuse.hoon`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
hoon has no particular familial relationship to other languages you may
|
||
|
|
know. It uses its own type inference algorithm and is as different from
|
||
|
|
Haskell as from Lisp. hoon syntax is also completely unfamiliar. hoon
|
||
|
|
uses ascii digraphs, which we call 'runes', instead of reserved words.
