# Wirbel

Note: Development is now discontinued. see Bye! Goodbye Note

Wirbel is a new programming language created by Mathias Kettner in 2008, its syntax clearly resembles the Python programming language in many ways.

However, the main difference is that Wirbel is a compiled language, meaning that it runs very fast, and as it is compiled doesn't need a runtime environment-meaning no need to have Wirbel on your computer to run Wirbel compiled program.

## Installation

The package is available in the AUR

## Tips and Tricks

### Example

Wirbel "hello world" example

    #!/usr/bin/wirbel
    #Filename:helloworld.w

    print ("Hello World")

### Compilation

wic runs the Wirbel compiler

type 'wic foo.w', with foo being the filename you wish to compile

    wic foo.w

Now you can run the program with

    ./foo.w

Alternatively, you can run the script

    wirbel foo.w
