Ring is a dynamic and general-purpose programming language. It can be embedded in C/C++ projects, extended using C/C++ code and/or used as a standalone language. The supported programming paradigms are imperative, procedural, object-oriented, functional, meta, declarative using nested structures, and natural programming. The language is portable (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, etc.) and can be used to create console, GUI, web, game and mobile applications.[2][3][4][5][6][7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

Goals

  • Applications programming language.
  • Productivity and developing high quality solutions that can scale.
  • Small and fast language that can be embedded in C/C++ projects.
  • Simple language that can be used in education and introducing Compiler/VM concepts.
  • General-Purpose language that can be used for creating domain-specific libraries, frameworks and tools.
  • Practical language designed for creating the next version of the Programming Without Coding Technology software.

Hello World Program

The same program can be written using different styles. Here is an example of the standard "Hello, World!" program using three different styles.

The first style:

See "Hello, World!"

The second style:

Put "Hello, World!"

The third style:

Load "stdlib.ring"
Print("Hello, World!")
