The Ring is a practical general-purpose multi-paradigm language.
The supported programming paradigms are imperative, procedural, object-oriented, declarative using nested structures, functional, meta programming and natural programming.
The language is portable (MS-DOS, Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, WebAssembly, Microcontrollers, etc.) and can be used to create Console, GUI, Web, Games and Mobile applications.
The language is designed to be simple, small and flexible. Ring is distributed as a Free-Open Source project under the MIT License.
Features
- Free Open Source (MIT License)
- Hybrid Implementation (Compiler+VM)
- Declarative programming on the top of Object-Oriented programming
- No explicit end for statements (No ; or ENTER is required)
- Compiler + Virtual Machine
- Many libraries!
- Writen in ANSI C (The code is generated)
- Developed using Visual Programming (PWCT)
- Optional Printing for Tokens/Grammar/Byte-Code during execution
- Portable (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, etc.)
- Comments (One line & Multi-line)
- Not Case-Sensitive
- Dynamic Typing
- Weakly typed
- Lexical Scoping (Global, Local & Object State)
- Default scope for variables inside functions (Local)
- Default scope for variables outside functions (global)
- Garbage Collector - Automatic Memory Management (Escape Analysis and Reference Counting)
- Structure Programming
- Rich control structures & Operators
- For in get item by reference not value, you can read/edit the item
- Use exit to go outside from more than one loop
- Procedures/Functions
- Main Function (optional)
- Call Function before the definition
- Recursion
- Multi-line literals
- Access (read/write) string letter by index

- Setter/Getter (optional)
- private state (optional)
- Instantiation
- Polymorphism
- Composition
- Inheritance (Single Inheritance)
- Operator Overloading
- Packages
- using { } to access objects and use attributes/methods as variables/functions
- Reflection and Meta-programming
- Clear program structure (Statements then functions then packages & classes)
- Exception Handling
- Eval() to execute code during run-time
- 8-bit clean, work on binary data directly
- I/O commands
- Math functions
- String functions
- List functions
