Ximp

The following code shows the Ximp language output for some specific input, showing some of the benefits from using such a nice language.

Defining something

 an Account
      is positive? { @amount >= 0 }
      withdraw { (amount is (@amount - value)) }

      my_account is Account (amount is 1000)
      my_account is positive?
      new_account is (withdraw from my_account (value is 300))
      new_account is my_account after withdraw (value is 300)

Another type:

 a Manager

Ximping a type

 ximp my Account
      with a Manager

Creating something

 my_account is Account(owner is "guilherme", amount is 50)

 paulo is Manager(name is "Paulo Silveira")

 my_account's manager is paulo

Output

 print my_account's manager's name

Paulo Silveira

Easy to extend

The following examples show how it is easy to define new macros.
