Introducing GlintCode ✨

I've been building GlintCode, a lightweight scripting language for the browser that runs on top of JavaScript.

The goal is simple: make building browser apps easier with a clean, beginner-friendly API while still using the power of JavaScript under the hood.

Features

• 🚀 Runs directly in the browser
• 📝 Uses <script type="glint">
• 🌐 Built-in DOM helpers
• 🎨 Simple UI creation functions
• 🔁 Built-in loop helpers
• 📦 Optional module system
• ⚡ No build tools or compilation required

Hello, World

<script src="https://fast4word.github.io/glintcode/glint.js"></script>

<script type="glint">
page("Hello")

heading("Welcome to GlintCode", 1)
paragraph("Your first Glint app!")

button("Click Me", () => {
    print("Hello from Glint!")
})
</script>

Why GlintCode?

JavaScript is incredibly powerful, but for beginners or small browser projects it can sometimes feel more verbose than necessary. GlintCode provides a set of simple, readable functions that make creating interfaces and interacting with the page easier, while still letting you use JavaScript features whenever you need them.

Because GlintCode runs on top of JavaScript, you can gradually learn the underlying language without giving up access to the browser's APIs.

What's next?

I'm continuing to expand GlintCode with new functions, modules, examples, and documentation. Future plans include additional built-in libraries, a richer module ecosystem, and more developer tools.

I'd love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or ideas for features you'd like to see!
