Wollok Language

This is the repository for the Wollok Language definition, and also the main access point for all resources.

What is Wollok?

Wollok is a language designed to satisfy our main goals for teaching OO concepts. You can see Wollok site for further information.

About this repository

It is a Wollok Project which contains

• Wollok core libraries: strings, numbers, dates, booleans, etc. in src folder
• Wollok language specification, in form of unit tests: in test folder you'll see our sanity tests where you can check how should you use Wollok objects from core libraries, and syntax definitions.

All files follow a standard coding convention, please read them before collaborating.

Changes

• If you want to propose a change, please open a new issue. Ideally, a new feature proposal should have: a) what do you want to achieve, b) why do you want the new feature, c) (optional) if it could solved with Wollok-side implementation or it could require native implementations, d) (optional, nice-to-have) acceptance tests. We have a sort of consensus instead of a bureaucratic committee, and will evaluate and prioritize the proposal. Pending task: add a template
• Once approved, we should add it to the changelog file, which could also be useful in case you need to migrate your examples according to different versions.
