Language guide

Python-readable syntax with native escape hatches.

This page documents the stable core first and points experimental surfaces to the stability map.

Functions

fn add(a:int, b:int) -> int:
  ret a + b

fn main() -> int:
  say add(2, 3)
  ret 0

Structs

struct Pair:
  left:int
  right:int

fn main() -> int:
  p:Pair
  p.left = 4
  p.right = 5
  ret p.left + p.right

Control flow

i:int = 0
while i < 5:
  if i == 3:
    break
  say i
  i = i + 1

Unsafe pointer block

fn main() -> int:
  p:*char = malloc(16)
  unsafe:
    p[0] = 65 as char
  free(p)
  ret 0
