NEO Programming Language

NEO νεο Is a Statically Typed Programming Language With a Self-Compiler, Transpiled To C, and Uses .n/.v As File Extensions. It Is Fast, Easy, Safe and Designed For Developing Maintainable Software. The Compiler Is Self-Hosted and Written In NEO ItSelf. You Will Need a C Compiler Installed and Available In Your PATH To Be Able To Compile NEO Programs.

The prefix NEO, derived from the Ancient Greek νεο/νέος (néo/néos), meaning 'new/modern', encapsulates the spirit of innovation. It symbolizes our commitment to providing a cutting-edge, forward-thinking technology with the NEO programming language. This language is designed for developers seeking modern, efficient, and robust software solutions. For more about the significance of 'NEO', visit Wikipedia.

The NEO programming language utilizes .n and .v as its file extensions. These choices are deeply rooted in the language's identity—.n is derived from the first letter of NEO, emphasizing the language's modern capabilities, while .v comes from the first letter of the Greek spelling νεο, reflecting the original linguistic heritage. This thoughtful naming underscores NEO’s blend of innovation and tradition, making it a distinctive tool in software development:

• .n is taken from the first letter of NEO, highlighting the language's modern capabilities.
• .v is derived from the first letter of the Greek spelling νεο, reflecting its original linguistic heritage.
• Together, .n/.v underscore NEO’s unique blend of innovation and tradition, marking it as a distinctive tool in software development.

The domain neolang.nl creatively abbreviates the name of the NEO programming language, where nl stands for the first letters of NEO and lang, highlighting its unique identity and focus:

• n is taken from neo
• l is taken from lang
• nl highlights the unique identity of neolang
