FJAS Transpiler

0.0.2-alpha.7 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript

FJAS (Friendly JavaScript Alternative Syntax) is a programming language transpiler that converts a human-readable, verbose syntax into JavaScript. Current version 0.0.2-alpha.7 is experimental and not stable. Release cadence is irregular as it is in early alpha. Key differentiators include a highly English-like syntax intended for learning or fun, with a CLI for transpiling and running .fjas files. However, it is alpha software, lacks documentation, and should not be used in production.

FJAS is a CLI tool, not a library. No programmatic API is exported at this alpha stage.

Quickstart

Install FJAS globally, create a .fjas file with human-like syntax, transpile or run it via CLI.

// Install globally
npm i -g fjas

// Create hello.fjas with content:
private initialize function hello start
    call object console function log with argument "Hello," and "World!".
end

call function hello.

// Transpile to JS:
fjas transpile hello.fjas -o hello.js

// Or run directly:
fjas run hello.fjas
