# 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

* Type inference

* All code can be run asynchronously

* Minimal dependencies, most X64 Linux distros shouldn't need to install anything to compile and run the source

* Lightweight, can run a VPS with only one Core and 1 Gigabyte of RAM
