Introduction

AQ is an interpreted programming language. It's fast, small, simple and safe. At the same time, programs written in AQ can also be compiled. Perhaps a great work.

AQ Card

Features

  • Fast (source code compilation and running speed)
  • Small (source code size)
  • Simple (easy to learn)
  • Security (safe memory management and code inspection)
  • Cross-platform (supports Windows, Linux and MacOS, etc.)
  • Similar to C++ syntax (quick mastery)
  • Interpreted (optional compilation)
  • Free (subject to AQ License)
  • Open source (under AQ license)

The following is a comparison between the AQ language and 15 other mainstream programming languages in different aspects:

Language Types Speed Size Simplicity Security Cross-platform Syntax style Execution Open source Application areas
AQ Interpreted/Compiled ★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Object-oriented/Procedural Interpreted/Compiled General
C Compiled ★★★★★ ★★★★ ★★ ★★★ ★★★★ Procedural Compiled System/Underlying
C++ Compiled ★★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★ ★★★ ★★★★ Object-oriented Compiled Universal
Java Interpreted/Compiled ★★★★ ★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Object-oriented Interpreted/Compiled Universal
Python Interpreted ★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★★ Object-oriented Interpreted Universal
JavaScript Interpreted ★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★ ★★★★★ Object-oriented Interpreted Web/Server
Go Compiled ★★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★★ Procedural Compiled System/Network
Ruby Interpreted ★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★★ Object-oriented Interpreted Web Development
Swift Compiled ★★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★ Object-oriented Compiled Mobile development
Rust Compiled ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Object-oriented Compiled System/Web
Kotlin Compiled ★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Object-oriented Compiled Mobile/Server
Scala Compiled ★★★★ ★★★ ★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★★ Functional Compiled Big Data/Web
R Interpretation ★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★ ★★★★ Matrix Interpretation Statistics/Data Analysis
Perl Interpreted ★★★ ★★★★ ★★★ ★★★ ★★★★★ Procedural Interpreted Text Processing/Web
PHP Interpreted ★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★ ★★★★★ Object-oriented Interpreted Web Development

Notice:

  1. The number of stars represents the degree of excellence in this aspect (maximum 5 stars).
  2. This is only a rough comparison, and the actual situation may be different.
  3. The open source mark (√) indicates that the language itself is open source.

As can be seen from the table, the AQ language has better performance in terms of speed, size, simplicity, security and cross-platformness. Its syntax style is similar to C++, it can be interpreted and executed or compiled and executed, and it is completely open source. AQ aims to be a general-purpose programming language suitable for various application scenarios. Compared with other languages, its advantage is that it has both high performance and ease of use.

Development progress

AQ is currently under active development and has implemented basic syntax and functions. But there is still a lot of work to be done, including optimizing performance, adding library support and improving development tools. We welcome everyone to join the development and contribute to AQ!

Quick Start

Install

AQ can be installed in multiple ways, including source code compilation and precompiled binaries. The specific installation steps vary by platform, please check the Installation Guide for more information.

On platforms such as Linux, you can compile like this:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

On Windows, you need to download CMake and other necessary tools first, and then compile.

Finally, you can run on Linux and Windows:

cd aq

# Find an executable file like aq or aq.exe and run it

Usage

You can run AQ using the command line or the GUI.

./aq <file> -other-options

Please see documentation for details

Document

You can find more information about AQ in the Documentation.

The current document may contain some errors or missing parts. We will improve it as soon as possible. If you find any bugs or areas for improvement, please feel free to contact us.
