Rhema Programming Language

Write the Word. Build the World.

Rhema is a modern, easy-to-use programming language with a Christian/Biblical identity, designed for cross-platform desktop and mobile application development.

Status

This is a pre-alpha implementation. The language specification is complete, and basic compiler components (lexer, parser, AST, bytecode generator) are implemented.

Quick Start

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/rhema/rhema.git
cd rhema

# Run the compiler
go run main.go --input examples/hello.rhm --output output.rbc

Language Example

covenant { Frame, Text, Button } from "rhema:ui"

temple App {
  seed name = "World"

  shepherd greet() {
    log("Hello, " + name + "!")
    amen
  }

  render {
    Frame {
      Text { "Welcome, " + name + "!" }
    }
  }
}
