Eul – The language

Every single macOS download I&#x27;ve tried of Eul has been completely broken. It simply won&#x27;t launch. Doing so from the Terminal gives the following output:<p><pre><code> dyld: Library not loaded: libnanovg.a Referenced from: &#x2F;Applications&#x2F;eul.app&#x2F;Contents&#x2F;MacOS&#x2F;.&#x2F;eul Reason: image not found </code></pre> Weirdly, `otool -L eul` tells me that eul links against no dynamic libraries whatsoever (not even libSystem) and `otool -l eul` backs this up. I&#x27;m really curious how Eul managed to have zero dynamic library dependencies in the Mach-O headers and yet clearly still depends on them (especially because on macOS you <i>must</i> link against libSystem or you can&#x27;t even make syscalls).

I&#x27;d love to hear more. Maybe I&#x27;m a bit confused: the documentation says that functions are pure, and then the example functions look like they are full of side-effects. Does anyone have a good explanation of how purity and effects work in Eul?

Cool little language, but<p>&gt; functions are pure.<p>I think you need to reconsider what pure means

Normally I think &quot;rewrite it in Rust!&quot; comments are annoying, but in this case the author&#x27;s requirements sound pretty relevant:<p>- integration with C libraries<p>- overhead similar to C<p>- more productive than C<p>- &quot;Variables are immutable by default, globals are not allowed, functions are pure.&quot;<p>That does sound an awful lot like Rust, at least if we kind of squint our eyes at the purity requirement :) I wonder if the original author considered it?

Go: func<p>Eul: fn<p>Come on, it should be &quot;fun&quot;.

Weird, the linux link on the front page of this website gives a 404

It sounds interesting. Is the language open-sourced?

how is it pronounced? Like Euler?

&gt; Safety<p>&gt; Variables are immutable by default, globals are not allowed, functions are pure.<p>This is a huge non-sequitur.
