A modern, XBase-inspired programming language for visual applications, connected services and data-driven software.
Develop on Linux. Run compatible apps with KokumVM.
Build the interface, write the logic and connect the data—with tools that belong in the same workflow.
Arrange forms and controls, edit properties and connect signals to exported Kokum slots. Add tables, graphs and a DatePicker without hand-building the interface.
Develop locally or give authorized users browser access to one Linux-hosted IDE, with accounts and separate workspaces.
Use SQLite, TigerDB and PostgreSQL providers, or connect to Remote FlatDB with a configuration file and matching key. Provider availability varies by platform.
Make HTTP and HTTPS requests, work with JSON responses and exchange messages over ws or wss. Choose the interface that fits your application.
Run background tasks and named threads, coordinate with mutexes and channels, and implement HTTP services in Kokum.
Read and write files, search with regular expressions or natural patterns, and work with arrays, maps, exact decimals and string-trimming functions.
Keep credentials outside source code. Use verified TLS and the access controls appropriate to your deployment.
Start with readable functions and typed values. Add a visual interface, an API call or a time-based code as your application grows.
Code listings, not an online runtime.
This page makes no API calls and asks for no secrets.
Readable from the first line.Typed values, familiar control flow and useful built-ins. Keep the intent of your program in view.
FUNCTION Main AS INTEGER LOCAL name AS STRING LOCAL scores AS ARRAY name = TRIM(" Kokum ") scores = [72, 85, 91, 88] ? "Hello, " + name + "!" ? "Average: " + STR(MEAN(scores)) RETURN 0ENDFUNCComplete console example. Output: Hello, Kokum! and Average: 84.
MODULE demo.slots VERSION "1.0.0"&& Bind the button's clicked event to this slot.EXPORT PROCEDURE btnReadDate_clickedPROCEDURE btnReadDate_clicked(sender, event, form) LOCAL selected AS STRING selected = form.datePicker1.GetDate("dd-mm-YYYY") form.lblResult.Text = "Selected: " + selectedENDPROCGUI slot example. Add datePicker1 (DatePicker), lblResult (Label) and btnReadDate (Button), use demo.slots as the slots module and bind clicked to this procedure. The bare datePicker1 variable remains an ISO STRING.
FUNCTION Main AS INTEGER LOCAL response AS MAP TRY response = URLREQUEST( ; "GET", "https://api.example.test/status", NULL, ; {"TimeoutMs": 5000, "FollowRedirects": .F.} ; ) ? response["Status"] ? response["Body"] CATCH error ? "Request failed." RETURN 1 ENDTRY RETURN 0ENDFUNCReplace the placeholder endpoint with your own API. HTTP error statuses are response values; transport failures are catchable. This website does not send the request.
&& Public test secret; never use it for an account.FUNCTION Main AS INTEGER LOCAL code AS STRING code = TOTP( ; "GEZDGNBVGY3TQOJQGEZDGNBVGY3TQOJQ", ; {"Timestamp": 59, "Digits": 8} ; ) ? code RETURN 0ENDFUNCComplete offline test example. Expected output: 94287082. The secret and timestamp are public test data, not account credentials.
A small preview of the DatePicker workflow.
form.dtAdmission.GetDate("dd-mm-YYYY")Interactive browser illustration, not a running Kokum application. Nothing is stored or sent.
Arrange your controls, choose their properties and connect an event to a Kokum procedure. Keep presentation and application logic clearly separated.
Use controls, layouts, tables, menus, graphs and images.
Handle input and update the interface in ordinary Kokum.
Return a formatted date while preserving its ISO value.
Get the complete Linux development environment, or a dedicated runtime for compatible Windows and macOS applications.
Compiler, visual Designer, standalone and network IDE, plus the Linux virtual machine.
Run compatible Kokum bundles, including browser-rendered GUI applications, on Windows.
Run compatible Kokum applications with the macOS-specific virtual machine and its supplied libraries.
Choose a build matching your operating system and architecture. Keep the supplied runtime libraries together and check each archive’s notes for compatibility and validation status.
A straightforward development model, with the right tools for each platform.
Talk to the creatorYes. Authorized users can access the network IDE through a browser connected to its Linux host. The compiler and IDE run on Linux; remote browser access does not install a native IDE on the client machine.
Use a runtime that supports your application’s VM and GUI requirements. PostgreSQL is currently omitted from the Windows VM, while SQLite, TigerDB and Remote FlatDB remain available. DatePicker and GetDate() are in the Linux and updated Windows GUI 1.9 line. The current macOS line has not yet adopted those date controls.
No. These downloads are intended to contain publisher-built tools. On Linux, use the supplied compiler and IDE to create your applications. On Windows and macOS, use the matching KokumVM to run compatible application bundles. Keep each package’s libraries and assets together.
