A refreshing programming language for the front-end web, aiming to solve the most common issues of Single Page Applications (SPAs) at a language level:

• Reusable components
• Styling
• Routing
• Global and local state handling
• Synchronous and asynchronous computations that might fail

While focusing on:

• Developer happiness
• Fast compilation
• Readability

The project is in development, we are still tweaking the language and standard library.

There are some bigger applications which can be used as examples / learning material:

• Mint Realworld (~3300 LOC)
• Mint UI (~9500 LOC)
• Mint UI Website (~27256 LOC)

Follow these instructions

• Tutorial
• Learning Guide
• API Docs

Read the general Contributing guide, and then:

1. Fork it (https://github.com/mint-lang/mint/fork)
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create a new Pull Request

• use the language - this is the most helpful thing at this stage because we can discover bugs and missing features this way
• documentation and website - the documentation always needs some work, if you discover that something is not documented or can be improved you can create a PR for it in the website repository
• language features - if you have any idea about a new language feature, create a detailed issue about it with examples and description (why is it needed? what problems does it solve?)
• code review - the compiler can use a thorough code review, also code reviews for PRs are welcome
• standard library - the standard library is incomplete and needs a lot of work:
  • create modules for not yet implemented Web APIs (or a separate package)
  • a lot of modules like String, Dom, etc... are missing a lot of features, you can add new functions here (with tests)
• write a package - if you have a feature you use and can be moved into a package it can be good for other developers
• marketing - write blog posts and such to help others become aware of the language
• compiler - there are a few issues that could be fixed and features that can be implemented in the compiler

Let's discuss in the Github Discussions, otherwise please create at new issue
