Jel is a scripting language developed to be simple with a hard foundation. Jel is a based off of JavaScript syntax with a Python parser. It's main purpose is to have all elements be the same. (See Syntax.)
All Jel functions are written with a parentheses, such as write('Jel is a cool language!');
and end with a semi-colon.
This makes the language overall easier to understand as some functions in JavaScript (return
) or Python (print
) do not follow this rule which makes those languages a tiny bit more confusing, where as in Jel, it makes it less confusing.
You can install by using npm
npm install jel
Or git clone
git clone https://github.com/jel-lang/jel.git
The only way to run jel currently is through the terminal.
