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.
