Introduction

Jacala is a simple programming language similar to other modern languages. It is developed and encapsulated in Scala. It supports following features:

• Arithmetic, logic, and declarations, typed in single line or blocks
• Execution of loops, lambda expressions, and recursive functions
• Variable assignment, object construction, and dereferencing
• Eager execution, lazy execution, and dynamic type checking

How to run it

Make sure you have sbt on your machine. If not, you can install it shown as below:

$ brew update
$ brew install scala
$ brew install sbt

Under the Jacala project path, run it using sbt

$ sbt 
$ run

If you typed everything correctly, you would see Running system.console on your terminal
