# 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"
|
|
```

## 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
|
|
- Garbage collection
|
|
- [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), [gaming](https://github.com/d5/pbr), data pipeline, [transpiler](https://github.com/d5/tengo2lua)
