The STEP Programming Language

Introduction

STEP is a programming language that is designed to be easy to learn and use.

It is inspired by languages like Python, JavaScript, Dart and C#.

  • Interpreted — No need to compile your code before you can run it.
  • Cross-platform — Run it on Windows, Linux and macOS.
  • Open source — Contribute to the language and its ecosystem.
  • Extensible — Write your own functions and libraries and import them anywhere.
