Goal is a K-like language that brings in ideas from Perl and BQN. Its original main motivation was integrating Unicode-aware string-handling functionality from text-processing scripting languages like AWK/Perl into an array language[1].

Some notable changes from the K tradition[2] are:

  • Atomic Strings
  • String Quoting Constructs
  • Format Strings
  • Regular Expressions
  • Error Handling

Goal is embeddable and extensible using the Go programming language.

Goal includes built-in support for date-time functionality, as well as CSV and JSON processing.
