Jackal

The Better Abstraction For Engineer.

Jackal Is A LightWeight Native Scripting Language.

Syntax Philosophy

Readability
is not optional.

Jackal is built for engineers who value clean code. Experience a better abstraction without losing control over the system.

// Reactive Pattern
every(1000) { counter++ }
until (counter >= 5) { println("Done") }

// Concise Assignment & Pipeline
let [user, role] = ["Jackal", "Admin"]

"Hello " |> user 
    |> println()

// Structured Classes & Inheritance
class Jack: Person {
    func greet() {
        println("Better Abstraction")
    }
}
