goose Documentation

goose is a minimal programming language built on top of the Go programming language. It is designed for simplicity and ease of use.

goose is dynamically typed, which means that you don't have to specify the type of a variable when you declare it. The type of a variable is determined at runtime based on the value that is assigned to it. This makes goose a very flexible language, but it also means that you have to be careful when working with variables to avoid type errors.

goose is an interpreted language, which means that code is executed line by line without prior compilation. There are no special optimizations or pre-processing. While this makes goose slower than compiled languages at scale, for small to medium-sized projects, its speed is more than enough thanks to fast startup times and low memory usage.

Get started

To start writing goose code, you need to install the goose binary. See the getting started guide for more information.
