Introduction

GoSong (GS) is a general-purpose programming language designed to be extremely easy to learn, blending the syntax style of Go and Python, with a unique task orchestration feature for declaratively controlling program execution flow.

Key Features

• {} syntax — consistent and strict, inspired by Go/C. No indentation-based blocks.
• Dynamic typing — no explicit type declarations needed.
• Task orchestration — start, then, startif, elstart to control the order and conditions of execution between program blocks.
• Automatic error handling — error and try with auto-propagation.
• Simple OOP — struct + methods in Go style (fnc (receiver type) name { ... }).
• String interpolation — "hello {name}".
• Built-in package manager — gsi/gsc install to fetch packages from GitHub.
• Compile to binary — gsc build produces a standalone binary.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/Natarizki/gs-lang.git
cd gs-lang
go build -o gsc .

Your First Program

Every GS program's entry file must be wrapped in a task block ({ }). This is the only required structure — everything else lives inside it.

{
   fnc main {
      print("hello world!")
    }
}

Run it:

./gsc run hello.gs

Output:

hello world!
