Your First NXL Program

Create a file called examples/hello.nxl:

let name = "Tanmoy"

print(name)

Run it with:

cargo run -- examples/hello.nxl

The current interpreter can execute variable declarations, literal values, variable lookup, expression statements, blocks, and the built-in print() function.

A slightly larger program looks like:

let name = "Tanmoy"
let age = 23

print(name)
print(age)

if age >= 18 {
    print("Adult")
} else {
    print("Minor")
}

Conditional execution is part of the language design, although some conditional runtime behavior is still under development.
