Ring is a simple, lightweight, embeddable, multi-paradigm dynamic programming language implemented in C, supporting imperative, procedural, object-oriented, functional, declarative, and natural-language programming. It ships with batteries-included libraries for building console, GUI, web, game, and mobile applications across many platforms including WebAssembly.
Use cases
- build a general-purpose application in a simple dynamic language
- create domain-specific languages without writing a compiler
- develop desktop GUI applications with RAD tools
- make 2D games with a built-in game engine
- embed a scripting language into a C/C++ application
- write frontend web code compiled to WebAssembly
- build mobile apps from one language
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, embeddable scripting language with a small C implementation
- you need flexible syntax and DSL creation without parser tooling
- you want one language spanning desktop, web, mobile, and games
- you prefer natural-language-style and declarative programming constructs
When to avoid
- you need a large ecosystem, mature package registry, or big community
- you require maximum runtime performance or heavy concurrency tooling
- your team sticks to mainstream languages for hiring and tooling
- you need first-class async or strong static typing
