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.
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 + "!" }
}
}
}
