The Radon Programming Language

A general-purpose programming language, focused on simplicity, safety and stability.

Website • Documentation • Tests • Examples

Radon is a programming language that is designed to be easy to learn and use. It is a high-level language intended to be used for general purpose programming. It is designed to be easy to learn and use, while still being powerful enough to be used for most tasks. Some of the features of Radon include:

• A simple syntax that is easy to learn and use
• Dynamic typing so that you don't have to worry about types
• Powerful standard library that makes it easy to do common tasks (Development)
• Easy to use package manager that makes it easy to install packages (Future feature)

Installation

Radon is currently in development state. It is not ready for use yet. But you can still try it out by cloning the repository and running the radon-project/radon repository.

git clone https://github.com/radon-project/radon.git
cd radon

# To run the repl
python radon.py

# To run a .rn file use the -s flag and pass the filename
python radon.py -s <filename>

Read the documentation to learn more about the language.

Quick Start

Here is a simple example of a Radon program that asks the user for their username and password and then checks if the username is "radon" and the password is "password". If the username and password are correct, it prints "Log in successful", otherwise it prints "Invalid credentials".

import io

class Network {
    fun __constructor__(username, password) {
        this.username = username
        this.password = password
    }

    fun login() {
        if this.username == "radon" {
            if this.password == "password" {
                print("Log in successful")
            } else {
                print("Invalid credentials")
            }
        } else {
            print("Invalid credentials")
        }
    }
}

var username = input("Enter you username: ")
# Access password securely using get_password
var password = io.Input.get_password("Enter your password: ")

var network = Network(username, password)
network.login()
