Flappy bird, in QED
I just coded a first game in QED, a port of a javascript Flappy Bird!
Welcome to QED!
QED is a programming language for web app development. It sits on top of Javascript and provides features that simplify application development compared to using native JS. It does not replaces JS at all; it rather enhances JS programming when it comes to developing a GUI and implementing concurrency.
The QED fan. Give it a spin!
Here is a trivial example of QED brevity and power.
Take the quick tour for an overview of how QED works! You may also take a look at the demos or, if you want a deeper understanding, the tutorial. There’s also a FAQ that will grow over time.
Academically, QED tackles the well-known GUI problem by illustrating how simple concepts such as function call and class instantiation naturally lead up to sophisticated topics such as concurrency and UI design, hence the QED name (Q.E.D. means “quod erat demonstrandum” or “that which was to be demonstrated” - not related to type theory in our context). Practically though, the real goal is to simplify your life as a software developer by providing more power to your lines of code (or the same power for less lines of code).
If you have a more specific question on QED, please inquire at qedlang@gmail.com.
