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

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

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.

• 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.

• Wollok Roadmap for 2024

• wollok-ts: next generation interpreter Typescript-based, which has...
  • wollok-ts-cli: Wollok Command Line Interface for running programs, a REPL, tests, dynamic diagram using Wollok TS implementation
  • wollok-lsp-ide: A Work-in-Progress implementation of Language Server Protocol, supported for a lot of IDEs (especially Visual Studio Code)
  • wollok-run-client: A proof of concept using Wollok Game, first prototype of a dynamic diagram, a new console REPL and wollok-ts interpreter. It will be deprecated hopefully for 2025.
• wollok-highlight-vscode, a highlighter plugin for Visual Studio Code
• wollok-mobile: Mobile implementation for Wollok
• official web site: Main content of our Wollok-TS site (developed with Astro)

These projects are in low-maintenance mode:

• wollok-xtext: it was our first & stable implementation (2016-2024), based on Eclipse Xtext.
• wollok-cli: Wollok CLI for tasks automation (CI integration, bash scripting, etc.) using Wollok Xtext implementation
• old web site: Main content of our Wollok Xtext site (hosted in github pages using Jekyll)

We also have several ideas currently suspended, that eventually anybody could resume at any time:

• Woblocks: a Wollok blockly editor for Wollok Game
• wollok-game-web: Wollok Game implementation for web browsers.
• wollok-s: Wollok Scala interpreter & parser
• wollok-js: Wollok javascript interpreter, parser & linker
• wollok-blockly: a first Wollok blockly editor
• wollok-sublime: a highlighting extension for Sublime editor
• wollok-sublime-linter: A Linter for Sublime 3
