# Kevins Programming Language (KPL) Specification
### Version 0.0.0
---
## Overview
KPL is a statically typed and just in time compiled scripting language. The goal is to be something lower level then JavaScript/Python/Ruby/Lua but on a higher level then Go.
This specification not only describes the language syntax but it's implementation because syntax reflects the implementation and vice versa.
#### Language Design Goals
* Single invocation, just run the code
* No operator precedence
* No default variables
* Type inference
* Automatically use threads
* All code can be run asynchronously, no built in asynchronous callback functions
```text
// Do Soemthing
readFile("filename", callback(data))
// Continue while readFile is running
// langauge equivalent
// Do Soemthing
Fn[name; callback] $ (
( read ) : `use "io"
callback `sync read `sync name
) `async ("filename"; callback)
// Continue while readFile is running
```
* C interoperability
* Minimal dependencies, most X64 Linux distros shouldn't need to install anything to compile and run the source
* Lightweight, can run a VPS with 1 CPU Core and 1 Gigabyte of RAM
