What is Lead?
What is Lead? Is it a programming langauge? or a foundation? What does it aim to achieve?
Lead refers to both
- The Foundation
- The Language
Initially, "Lead" was the name of the programming language that was developed. Subsequently, the foundation was also named "Lead". Now, Lead Foundation maintains both Lead Language and Lead RunTime
Why Lead?
Just as the tagline mentions, Lead Foundation is experimenting on how to create a programming language within these objectives
- Simplicity: A relatively simple bytecode interpreter
- Evolutionary Modularity: A design that allows
main.lrtto be written in v1 of the syntax andmodule.lrtto be in v2 of the syntax or language or specification. - Native Interoperability: The Foundation works to create a language and contained interpretable executable file that treats native libraries as packages itself
