What is Yolk?

Yolk is a domain-specific language that transpiles to Yolol.

// Calculate dot products

define dot(V, W) = sum(V * W)

let foo = dot([1, 2], [3, 4])

// Result: foo == 11

Yolk specializes in working with numbers and arrays. It doesn't support strings, conditionals, or gotos.

Why should I use Yolk?

• Minimal syntax: has the same operators and precedence as Yolol
• Interoperable design: easy to integrate with your existing Yolol
• Aggressive optimization: saves space on your Yolol chips

How do I get started?

Learn the Yolk syntax by checking out some examples or by reading the language specification.
