Barn is a simple and efficient programming language designed for beginners and experienced programmers alike. It is compiled to C, making it fast and portable. Barn has a clean and easy-to-read syntax, making it a great choice for learning programming. It also has a growing community of users and contributors.
This repository includes the whole BarnC which is basically Barn compiler written in C, lot's of example programs in Barn and also extensions for well known editors like Vim, Visual Studio Code, Emacs
Welcome to the exciting world of Barn programming! For a seamless introduction to the language, we highly recommend exploring our documentation, which is available online. Dive into the details and unleash your creativity by visiting our documentation page.
If you don't have time to read our documentation check out everything underneath. To get started with Barn you have to install our compiler, to do it correctly put these commands into your (Linux/MacOS) terminal (Windows is not supported right now):
terminal
git clone https://github.com/barn-lang/barn && cd barn
make CC=gcc # Set the compiler you will use
make install
barn --version
After that let's dive into some programming. We will start with the most basic program we can write in any programming language yeah i mean a Hello World.
main.ba
@import "std.ba"
fun main() -> i32 {
println("Hello, World!")
return 0
}That's all, after compiling this program by using this command barn ./main.ba and running it with ./a.out you should see a beautiful Hello, World! pop up in your terminal window! That is the most basic thing in Barn. We would also recommend to check out some examples in Barn right here
