Welcome to the Nest documentation!#

GitHub repository

What is Nest#

Nest is a little programming language developed with the idea of creating a procedural language that has no keywords and that is actually usable.

In nest the keywords should represent what they do, for example ?.. is while and ..? is do-while, each representing when the condition is checked. Another fitting example is the import operator |#| that resembles a written file.

Getting started#

To get started with Nest first check out the installation documentation for installing it.

After that is done you should be able through the command-line (or command prompt) to use Nest:

$ nest
USAGE: nest [options] <filename | -c command> [args]
Run 'nest --help' for more information

From here you can read a quick tour of the language or check out the full syntax.
