Welcome to the ngl documentation.

ngl is a language using uncommon concepts, to understand them, please read the [introduction]

Objectives

• generic : compile to anything
• minimize code duplication (using the cluster system and the ngl vcs)
• powerful metaprogrammation : abstraction of the program phase (compilation, build time, runtime, jit etc ...)
• highly customizable : ngl syntax can be rewritten in ngl, common programming concepts can be written in ngl
• use the same system for everything : compilation, build system, vcs use ngl
• collaborative : improve generic code using a common code base
• inclusive : use the ngl shape concept to allow external syntaxes

Use cases

• write a complete program
• use for scripting
• generate code for other languages
• write common algorithm once for any languages
• store data in a format with easy conversion to other formats
• create DSL easily using the ngl shapes
