Hank is a purely symbolic, instruction-oriented embeddable language designed to bring secure, dynamic automation to any host application. Built on a strict air-gapped execution model, Hank has zero built-in I/O, guaranteeing that scripts cannot access the filesystem, network, or OS without explicit delegation. This makes it the perfect predictable environment for game scripting, microservice orchestration, and user-facing plugin systems. With a highly readable, keyword-less syntax and universal cross-platform parity, Hank seamlessly bridges the gap between static configuration files and complex general-purpose programming.
This repository provides the official Go implementation of the Hank language. It is a reusable package for embedding the Hank interpreter and runner into any Go application.
go get github.com/Igazine/hank-go- Standard Library: Full support for the official Hank Standard Library (
math,str,arr,obj,logic,json,log,runtime,env). - High Performance: Pure Go implementation optimized for orchestration tasks.
- Embedded Examples: Includes a reference runner implementation.
An example CLI runner is included in examples/runner. Note that the runner requires the universal conformance suite located in the hank submodule.
To fetch submodules after cloning:
git submodule update --init --recursiveTo run the conformance tests:
cd examples/runner
go run main.go- Hank Core Repo: Igazine/hank
