Features
Fjölnir is based on the concept of representing programs as trees, and packages by substitutions on trees using algebraic operators.[1] For example, in the Hello World example below, "GRUNNUR"
is a package, the block of code between braces is a package, and *
is an operator that substitutes names in one package with elements from another. In this case, skrifastreng
(which writes a string to the standard output) is imported from "GRUNNUR"
.
