Introduction

Overview​

A modern, beginner-friendly language that combines power, performance, and simplicity.

Features​

  • 🛡️ statically typed
  • 🔢 low level language
  • 🚀 targeted for high performance applications
  • 🤝 open source

Syntax​

Functions​

fn main(argc: type, argv: type): i32 {
  ...
}

Variables​

(var | const) <ident> [: <type>] = <expr>;

var a = 2323232323; // type deduction
const b = "232322211jfj"; // same

var c: i64 = 2323232121432323;  // explicit

Conditionals​

if <expr> {
    ... 
} else { ... }

Loops​

while <expr> {
   ...
}

Import​

// local file
import dir::mod::symbol; 

// global package
import package::module::symbol; 

import package::module::symbol as stuff;

import package::module::{ sym1, sym2 as other_stuff };

Arrays​

var a: [i32 | 5];  // explicit size mention is required when not initialized
var c = [43, 56, 622, 56];  // deduced to [i32 | 4]
var d = u32[3, 34, 52, 42];  // deduced to [u32 | 4]

Arrays are first-class primitives, this applies to their value-semantics as well:

fn function() {
    var b = [23, 34, 63];
    return b;  // this will be passed by value, it won't simply decay into a pointer
}
