Nougaro

Français

This is Nougaro version 1.1.0.

Nougaro is a programming language interpreted in Python.

It is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports imperative, functional and object-oriented programming.

Nougaro is weakly typed. Its syntax is inspired from Python and Basic.

Example

def fizzbuzz(n)
    for i = 0 to n then
        if i%15 == 0 then print("FizzBuzz") \
        elif i%3 == 0 then print("Fizz") \
        elif i%5 == 0 then print("Buzz") \
        else print(i)
    end
end

Run

Execute the shell with python3 shell.py. Open files with python3 shell.py filename.extension. Generally, we use .noug as extension for Nougaro files.

The code is compiled for Windows and GNU/Linux. Check it out in the releases tab!

Supports Python 3.11 and 3.12. Has not been tested under python 3.13.

Third-party modules (optional)

Python builtins that are not always builtin:

• colorama (pip install colorama)

Under GNU/Linux, to allow browsing command history with the arrow keys, and to save the command history across sessions:

• readline (pip install readline)

About syntax highlighting

The notepad++ file was no longer updated, so I deleted it from the repo. Here is its last version.

I’m planning to create a VSCode extension – if you know something about that, contact me!

How it works?

Everything is explained here :)

Language goals

The main goal of this language is, for me, to learn how interpreted languages work. It is not intended to be blazing fast, memory safe and bleeding edge, but to be easily understandable.

Important

I do not recommend to use Nougaro in real projects.
