The Asteria Programming Language

1. Sane and clean.
2. Self-consistent.
3. Simple to use.
4. Lightweight.
5. Procedural.
6. Dynamically typed.
7. Easy to integrate in a C++ project. (C++11 is required.)
8. Native to C++ exceptions, particularly std::bad_alloc.

Characteristics

1. First-class functions.
2. Closure functions (lambda expressions).
3. Exceptions.
4. Flexible syntax similar to C++ and JavaScript.
5. Regular grammar.
6. Pass-by-reference function arguments.
   Return values are passed by value by default, but can also be passed by reference using the return& syntax.
7. Minimal garbage collection support. Objects are managed using referencing counting. Primitive types are copy-on-write hence circular references are impossible.
