Kipper Web Module - @kipper/web 🦊 🌐
The standalone web-module for the Kipper Compiler.
Kipper is a JavaScript-like strongly and strictly typed language with Python flavour. It aims to provide straightforward, simple, secure and type-safe coding with better efficiency and developer satisfaction!
It compiles to both JavaScript and TypeScript, and can be set up in your terminal, Node.js or ES6+ browser. 🦊🖥️
For more details, you can read more about this project on the project repository and the Kipper website.

Usage
For running Kipper in the browser, you will have to include the kipper-standalone.min.js file, which
provides the Kipper Compiler for the browser and enables the compilation of Kipper code to JavaScript.
Simple example of compiling and running Kipper code in a browser:
<!-- Kipper dependency -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@kipper/web@latest/kipper-standalone.min.js"></script>
<!-- You won't have to define Kipper or anything after including the previous file. It will be defined per default -->
<!-- with the global 'Kipper' -->
<script type="module">
// Define your own logger and compiler, which will handle the compilation
const logger = new Kipper.KipperLogger((level, msg) => {
console.log(`[${Kipper.getLogLevelString(level)}] ${msg}`);
});
// Define your own compiler with your wanted configuration
const compiler = new Kipper.KipperCompiler(logger);
// Compile the code to JavaScript
// Top-level await ref: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/await#top_level_await
const result = await compiler.compile(`call print("Hello world!");`, {
target: new KipperJS.TargetJS(),
});
const jsCode = result.write();
// Finally, run your program
eval(jsCode);
