The Go+ Programming Language

goplus.org | Docs | Go+ vs. Go | Tutorials | Playground | iGo+ Playground | Contributing & compiler design

The Go+ programming language is designed for engineering, STEM education, and data science.

• For engineering: working in the simplest language that can be mastered by children.
• For STEM education: studying an engineering language that can be used for work in the future.
• For data science: communicating with engineers in the same language.

For more details, see Quick Start.

Key Features of Go+

• A static typed language.
• The simplest engineering language that can be mastered by children (script-like style).
• Performance: as fast as Go (Go+'s main backend compiles to human-readable Go).
• Fully compatible with Go and can mix Go/Go+ code in the same package (see Go/Go+ hybrid programming).
• No DSL (Domain Specific Language) support, but it's Specific Domain Friendly (see DSL vs. SDF).
• Support Go code generation (main backend) and bytecode backend (REPL: see iGo+).
• Simplest way to interaction with C (cgo is supported but not recommended).
• Powerful built-in data processing capabilities.
