Agena is an easy-to-learn procedural programming language suited for everyday usage. It has been implemented as an interpreter and can be used in scientific, educational, linguistic, and many other applications. Its syntax looks like very simplified Algol 68 with elements taken from Lua and SQL.

This software is distributed as compressed package. You have to download and manually install it; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too.

Manual installation

Available both as ZIP and WarpIN package:

  • download the ZIP package to temporary directory and unpack it to destination folder;
  • the WarpIN package is self-installing.

See below for download link(s).

You can install the prerequisites with rpm running the following string in a command line:

yum install libc libcx libgcc1 libssp libstdc++6 libstdc++ libsupc++6 libsupc++ libgcc-fwd readline ncurses

Following ones are the download links for manual installation:

Agena v. 6.1.4 (13/10/2025, Alexander Walz) Readme/What's new
6.1.4 Huntsville II, October 13, 2025 - New `mapm.xfrac` returns the fractional part of a real-valued arbitrary-precision number. The `frac` operator now also supports this number type. - New `mapm.xintfrac` returns the integral and fractional part of a real-valued arbitrary-precision number x such that x = int(x) + frac(x). - New `mapm.xisprime` checks whether a real-valued arbitrary-precision number is a prime. - New `mapm.xipow` computes the n-th power of a real-valued arbitrary-precision number, with n an integer. - The `&&`, `||` and `^^` operators now support bitwise AND, OR and XOR operations on MAPM real-valued arbitrary-precision numbers. Likewise, `<<` and `>>` shift MAPM real-valued arbitrary-precision numbers to the left or the right. - The `integral` and `fractional` operators now work with real-valued arbitrary-precision numbers. - All `mapm` functions can be called OOP-style. - New `mapm.checkinteger` checks whether its arguments are all integral real-valued arbitrary-precision numbers. New `mapm.checknonnegint` checks for non-negative MAPM integers. - If any option is given to `tostringx`, then the function puts any string present in its first argument into single quotes and it also properly escapes any embedded quotes. This is useful when writing strings to a text file and reading them back later. Example: > io.writefile('strtab.txt', tostringx(["a\'ge\'na", "programming", "language"], true)) This new feature may be easier to use than setting the interpreter into proper mode with environ.kernel('enclose*') or environ.aux.printenclosestrings and reset it later. - Added the '__brotl' and '__brotr' metamethod tags for the `<<<` and `>>>` operators. - Corrected error messages of the bitshift and rotation operators.

Agena v. 4.12.5 (20/5/2025, Alexander Walz) Readme/What's new
4.12.5 Merryville, May 20, 2025 - In the past, the bitshift operators <<< (left shift), >>> (right shift), <<<< (left rotation) and >>>> (right rotation) had different behaviour across platforms when a number at or beyond the +/-2^32 threshold has been processed. This has been changed and the results in these situations are now the same. Likewise, `bytes.numto32` is now returning the same results on all platforms when casting a value at or beyond the +/-2^32 border. This also benefits various functions in the `hashes` package as their returns are now the same across platforms, as well. To check the new underflow or overflow behaviour, use `math.wrap`. - New function `math.fmod` works and returns the same result as the binary `symmod` operator. It has just been added to facilitate porting C code to Agena. - The results of `hashes.mix`, `hashes.crc32`, `hashes.crc8`, `hashes.reflect`, `hashes.parity`, `hashes.fibmod`, `hashes.interweave`, `hashes.jinteger` may now be different with out-of-range input, that is with arguments at or beyond the 2^32 threshold, depending on your platform.
