# The Tengo Language

**Tengo is a small, dynamic, fast, secure script language for Go.**
Tengo is **[fast](#benchmark)** and secure because it's compiled/executed as
bytecode on stack-based VM that's written in native Go.
```golang
/* The Tengo Language */
fmt := import("fmt")
each := func(seq, fn) {
for x in seq { fn(x) }
}
sum := func(init, seq) {
each(seq, func(x) { init += x })
return init
}
fmt.println(sum(0, [1, 2, 3])) // "6"
fmt.println(sum("", [1, 2, 3])) // "123"
```
> Test this Tengo code in the
> [Tengo Playground](https://tengolang.com/?s=0c8d5d0d88f2795a7093d7f35ae12c3afa17bea3)
## Features
- Simple and highly readable
[Syntax](https://github.com/d5/tengo/blob/master/docs/tutorial.md)
- Dynamic typing with type coercion
- Higher-order functions and closures
- Immutable values
- [Securely Embeddable](https://github.com/d5/tengo/blob/master/docs/interoperability.md)
and [Extensible](https://github.com/d5/tengo/blob/master/docs/objects.md)
- Compiler/runtime written in native Go _(no external deps or cgo)_
- Executable as a
[standalone](https://github.com/d5/tengo/blob/master/docs/tengo-cli.md)
language / REPL
- Use cases: rules engine, [state machine](https://github.com/d5/go-fsm),
data pipeline, [transpiler](https://github.com/d5/tengo2lua)

## Quick Start
```
go get github.com/d5/tengo/v2
```
A simple Go example code that compiles/runs Tengo script code with some input/output values:
```golang
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"github.com/d5/tengo/v2"
)
func main() {
// Tengo script code
src := `
each := func(seq, fn) {
for x in seq { fn(x) }
}
sum := 0
mul := 1
each([a, b, c, d], func(x) {
sum += x
mul *= x
})`
// create a new Script instance
script := tengo.NewScript([]byte(src))
// set values
_ = script.Add("a", 1)
_ = script.Add("b", 9)
_ = script.Add("c", 8)
_ = script.Add("d", 4)
// run the script
compiled, err := script.RunContext(context.Background())
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// retrieve values
sum := compiled.Get("sum")
mul := compiled.Get("mul")
fmt.Println(sum, mul) // "22 288"
}
```
