Welcome to the kymera-lang wiki!

Chimera Card - Ragnarok

Kymera lang is a new programming language based on some parts of Python 3.x, Ruby, Go, C#, C, matlab and TypeScript.

Naming

Kymera is based on word "Chimera" that is:

"...a mythological, fire-breathing monster, commonly represented with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail." [1]

Like a chimera, Kymera is created based on some parts of another languages:

  • Use the simple syntax and semantics like Python 3.x and Ruby;
  • Use Object-oriented programming from C#;
  • Use pointer and assembly like C;
  • Use .Net Core 2.x to compile like C#;
  • Use parallel programming like Go;
  • Use module system like Ruby and Go;
  • Use package manager like npm;
  • Use matrix operations and other some math methods of matlab;
  • Work with text like python and ruby;
  • Use braces like C# to define blocks;
  • And other things from this languages.

Why Kymera?

It try to join the best of all worlds (programming languages in this case), because:

  • You write a little and do a lot of things like Pyhton and Ruby, different from java and c#.
  • You have a powerfull language because you can do almost everything you think with standard library or third party packages, and can do what Python 3.x, Ruby, Go, C#, C, matlab and TypeScript do with Kymera's way.
  • We like to do everything in a methodical and organized way. So it can be robust, secure, documented and standardized.
  • The error message is clear, and you don't need to use the stackoverflow to understand this messages.
  • Use OOP like C# and Java.
  • Features of new programming languages.
  • Best practices are implemented by default, like implicit void return to function, private atributes to objects and public methods of objects.
  • Write code with a flexible syntax. For example, declaration of variable types and access modifiers is optional.
  • You can use in several things: Create console code, desktop GUI aplications, web sites, REST API, mobile apps, games, web scraping, AI, pentest, computer forensics, network applications and other things.

Features

  • General-purpose programming language
  • Implemented on all major platforms
  • Garbage collection

Philosophy

Kymera use python (PEP 20) and ruby on rails (DRY and CoC) philosophy.

Besides these philosophies, Kymera uses some of the Unix Philosophy below:

Note: In some cases, replace the word 'program' by module or package.

  • Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
  • Write programs to work together.
  • Small is beautiful.
  • Build a prototype as soon as possible.
  • Choose portability over efficiency.
  • Rule of Modularity.
  • Rule of Composition.
  • Rule of Separation.
  • Rule of Simplicity.
  • Rule of Parsimony.
  • Rule of Transparency.
  • Rule of Robustness.
  • Rule of Representation.
  • Rule of Least Surprise.
  • Rule of Silence.
  • Rule of Repair.
  • Rule of Economy.
  • Rule of Generation.
  • Rule of Optimization.
  • Rule of Extensibility.

Kymera also has its own philosophy:

  • Ever use Kymera design pattern.
  • Stop to use Java now.
  • Do more, write less.
  • Make Kymera very secure and speed.
  • Make standard library rich.
  • Just import modules that you really need.
  • Help us to make it a very good language.
  • Play Ragnarok.

Uses

As it works with .Net Core, the Kymera can run in windows, linux and mac os.

Sample code

package main # Define main module like Go lang.

from standard import *

class Post(){

    get int id
    get_set string title, string body, string author

    # Initialize method
    func constructor(int id, string author, string title, string body){
        this.id = id # The 'this' is optional.
        this.title = title
        this.body = body
    }
}

func main() {

    post = Post(0, 'Chewbacca' 'Programming language', 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit...')

    println("The title is: ${post.title}.")
    println("The author is: ${post.author}.")

    println("The body before: ${post.body}")

    post.body = "Sed pharetra turpis vehicula orci sodales, interdum blandit libero scelerisque."
    println("The body after: ${post.body}")
}

# The output
> The title is: Programming language.
> The author is: Chewbacca
> The body before: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit...
> The body after: Sed pharetra turpis vehicula orci sodales, interdum blandit libero scelerisque.
