GLS - General Language Syntax

A unified syntax that compiles into a number of OOP languages.

• Read the docs at glslang.org.
• Try it at aka.ms/gls-demo.

GLS is still under development. Don't expect everything to work!

Usage

GLS can be used as a command-line app or via import/require.

CLI

To convert file.gls to file.py:

npm install general-language-syntax gls-cli --global

gls --language Python file.gls

See gls-cli.

Code

npm install general-language-syntax

import { Gls } from "general-language-syntax";

const gls = new Gls("C#");

// System.Console.WriteLine("Hello world!");
gls.convert([`print : ("Hello world!")`]);
