Did you know? It can be use for Windows app development, App development, Server Side programming, Web Scripting programming and can run on any platform.
1. Designed for a Clear Goal
Application Programming Language
Productivity and developing high quality solutions that can scale
Small and fast language
Simple language that can be used in education
2. Quick execution speed
- Dragon native runs a program faster than C# and Java.
3. Simple syntax
- Dragon is a very simple language, and has a very straightforward syntax. It encourages programmers to program without boilerplate code. To print something using the standard output, We can use the 'show' command. and 'showln' for output in newline.
`show "Hello, World!"
for taking input, we can use 'readln()' method which is in 'std' library.
`select "std"
a = readln()
showln a
This language has lot of amazing features that makes development easier, the language doesn't require any programming knowledge to start with, it is beginner friendly and can be used on any platform be it on Android, Windows, Linux, macOs etc.
The programming language uses a Code Editor called ZDragon IDE. ZDragon IDE is a Code Editor that is used for running Dragon codes. This language can also used on Android simply using the Android IDE provided by the creator.
