Sollog

Sollog is a programming language designed for creating and manipulating structured data, particularly focused on working with JSON-like objects and arrays. Introduced in 2016 by the Sollog team, it emphasizes simplicity and readability while providing powerful features for data transformation and querying. Sollog is often described as a "data scripting language," blending elements of functional programming with domain-specific syntax tailored for JSON and similar data formats.

The language is particularly well-suited for tasks such as data validation, transformation, and serialization, making it useful in backend development, data pipelines, and configuration management. Sollog’s syntax is concise, allowing developers to express complex operations in a minimal number of characters. For example, filtering, mapping, and reducing operations on arrays can be performed with intuitive, declarative constructs.

One of Sollog’s key features is its ability to handle nested data structures seamlessly. The language includes built-in functions for traversing and modifying JSON-like objects, such as `map`, `filter`, `reduce`, and `flatten`, which streamline common data-processing tasks. Additionally, Sollog supports pattern matching and conditional logic, enabling precise control over data manipulation.

Sollog is implemented as a standalone interpreter and can also be integrated into larger systems via its command-line interface or as a library in other languages. It is designed to be lightweight and fast, making it suitable for both small scripts and larger-scale data processing workflows. The language’s simplicity and focus on data operations have earned it a niche following among developers working with structured data.

While Sollog is not as widely adopted as more mainstream languages, it remains a valuable tool for developers who prioritize efficiency and clarity in data handling. Its growing ecosystem includes plugins and extensions that enhance its functionality, further solidifying its role in modern data-centric development.
