Gelato

Gelato is a personal experiment on compiling a language to Go. The goal is to allow for a simple, yet expressive, language that allows for interop with Go libraries.

Example

let x = 5

# `let` bindings are immutable, so this would be an error:
#x = 20

# `var` on the other hand is mutable:
var y = 1
y += 10

# `if` statements are expressions, so they can generate a value:
let z = if x > y then
    x - y
else
    y - x
end

The above would generate the following Go code:

{
	x := 5
	y := 1
	y += 10
	var z int
	if x > y {
		z = x - y
	} else {
		z = y - x
	}
}
