Overview

A lightweight, fast, embeddable, functional scripting language.

Oba sports a dynamic, but strong type system and a terse syntax which borrows designs from Haskell, Rust, and Go.

import "system"

fn fib n = match n
  | 0 = 0
  | 1 = 1
  | n = fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
  ;

system::print(fib(13))
