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

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

Status: Active Development.
Bait is usable for personal projects, but please be aware of bugs and incomplete features.

Consistent syntax balancing simplicity for newcomers with power for experienced developers
Type and memory safety with immutability by default
Explicit and predictable error handling using Result types
JavaScript backend (NodeJS)
🚧 C backend
Cross-platform support (Linux, 🚧 Windows)

The Language Overview provides a brief introduction to the syntax and features.

More ressources, docs and examples will be released in the future.

Some basic example programs can be found in the examples directory.

For a much larger list of examples, check out the Rosetta Code solutions.

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

Required dependencies: git and NodeJS >= 18

Linux:

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

Windows:

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

# In admin shell:
./bait.bat symlink

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

Thanks to the symlinked wrapper script, you can use the compiler with a simple command like bait run examples/hello_world.bt.
