YS by Example

One of the best ways to learn a new programming language is to see examples of real code written in that language. This page contains a links to programs written in YS.

Note

The YS documentation is a work in progress. Looking at real life examples is a solid way to get started. If you feel the urge to contribute to the documentation, please do so. It would be greatly appreciated!

• HelmYS Helm Templating 

YS Examples of Programs, Utilities and Automation

• Rosetta Code  YS (YAMLScript) solutions to Rosetta Code tasks.
• yamllm  A command line multi LLM (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemma) query tool.
• sbs  Creates markdown gists to compare pairs of files "side by side". Used to show differences between YS and Go templates in Helm.
• Example gist comparing Helm templates in YS and Go 
• ys-vs-rc  Compares YS and Rosetta Code solutions to the same problem in many languages.
• Example gist comparing FizzBuzz in YS vs many other languages 
• YS Repository Utilities
• util/release-yamlscript  The utility that orchestrates the release of YS, including 12 binary builds and libyamlscript.so bindings for 10 programming languages.
