Pilang
A lightweight programming language for machine learning,
numerical computing, data processing, and visualisation.
Combines Python-like readability with JavaScript-like
flexibility, small enough to embed directly into applications.
Built around a bytecode VM written in C with native support for
tensors, plotting, statistics, and OOP - data-oriented
programming is a first-class concern, not an afterthought.
-
Native tensor operations, statistics, 3D visualisation, and ML
workflows - no external ecosystem required
-
Bytecode VM with computed-goto dispatch and call-site inline
caches for fast execution
-
Syntax inspired by Python and JavaScript: comprehensions,
closures, classes, operator overloading, ranges, slices,
tuples
-
Targets scientific computing, simulation, education, and
interactive data exploration
-
Standard library: math, io, fs, tensor, canvas, net, stats,
random, plot

let chart = plot.chart(ctx)
plot.line(chart, x, y, "#4a9fe8")
plot.title(chart, "Draw line")
plot.show(chart)
