Weave 🌿

Simple scripting that compiles to JavaScript. Nothing else important.

---

The whole language in 30 seconds (or whatever speed you read this at.)

// Store a value
let name = "Bill"

// Print to the console
say("Hello, " + name + "!")

// Define a task (function)
task greet(person) {
  return "Hey, " + person + "!"
}
// Parameters in functions
say(greet(name))

// Put text on a webpage
put("Ready!", "#status")

// Listen for a click
on("#btn", "click", handleClick)

task handleClick() {
  put("Clicked!", "#status")
}

// Load data from the internet
let data = load("https://api.example.com/items")
say(data)

// Ping a website or IP
ping("https://example.com")

That's it. Five built-in actions: say, put, on, load, ping and many different possibilities. The rest is just normal logic.

Install

npm install -g weave-lang

Or grab a ready-to-run binary from the Releases page - no shell needed.

Usage

weave compile app.web     # outputs app.js
weave run app.web         # compile and run right now

Built-in actions

Action	Does what
say(value)	Print to the console
put(value, "#id")	Put text on a webpage element
on("#id", "click", task)	Run a task when something is clicked
load("url")	Fetch data from the internet
ping(url)	Request data from an IP or webserver

Everything else

• let name = "value" — store something
• task name(args) { } — define a reusable block of code
• if / else / for / while — standard logic, works as you'd expect
• // comment — notes to yourself
