Pocketlang is a small (~3000 semicolons) and fast functional language written in C. It’s syntactically similar to Ruby and it can be learned within 15 minutes. Including the compiler, bytecode VM and runtime, it’s a standalone executable with zero external dependencies just as it’s self descriptive name. The pocketlang VM can be embedded in another hosting program very easily. The language is written using Wren Language and their wonderful book Crafting Interpreters as a reference.
