Cuby

A tiny C-like language built on top of Ruby, in less than 20 lines of code.

Install

$ sudo gem install cuby --source http://gemcutter.org/

Usage

Executing Cuby Files

$ cuby path/to/file.cb

Interactive Shell

Cuby comes with an interactive shell called icb (just like Ruby's irb) which you can run from the command line.

The shell is currently considered to be in an Alpha state, as it doesn't fully work with all the quirks of Cuby.

Examples

Basic, example1.cb:

// This is an example of the Cuby Language
main {
  printf "Hello world\n"
}

Advanced(ish), example4.cb:

// This is another example of the Cuby Language
include "cuby/stdio"
plea_for_merci_to name {
  shout "Please don't kill me " + name + "!"
}
main {
  plea_for_merci_to "Jon"
}

cuby/stdio.rb:

def shout argument
  puts argument.upcase
end
