Modern Programming
Made Simple

Kode is a lightweight interpreted language with clean C-like syntax, dynamic typing, and functional capabilities.

Install KodeDocumentation
hello.kode
fn app() {
    print "Hello, Kode!";
}

Key Features

Designed with simplicity and readability in mind, Kode brings modern programming concepts in an accessible format.

Familiar Syntax

C-style syntax that feels natural to most programmers from any background.

Dynamic Typing

Flexible variable handling without strict type declarations for rapid development.

First-Class Functions

Support for closures and function passing for functional programming patterns.

Bytecode Compilation

Compile to .kdc bytecode for faster execution and distribution.

Interactive REPL

Experiment with code in real-time with a built-in interactive shell.

Module System

Import and use code from other files with a simple module system.

Code Examples

See how clean and intuitive Kode syntax is with these examples.

Factorial Function
fn factorial(n) {
    if (n <= 1) {
        return 1;
    } else {
        return n * factorial(n - 1);
    }
}

fn main() {
    print factorial(5);  // 120
}
Closures
fn createCounter() {
    let count = 0;
    return fn() {
        count = count + 1;
        return count;
    };
}

let counter = createCounter();
print counter();  // 1
print counter();  // 2
