A systems language that compiles in milliseconds, runs at C speed, and fits the entire language spec in your context window.
fn main() { let names = ["world", "from seed"] for name in names { print("Hello, {name}!") } }

Born from frustration with Rust's compilation times.
QBE backend, single-pass, no AST. 16ms average for small programs. 10k LOC in ~200ms. Your iteration loop is instant.
Ownership + linear types. Use-after-free impossible. Double-free impossible. No GC pauses, no data races, no segfaults.
Direct syscalls via assembly stubs. No glibc init, no dynamic linker. 4.5x less memory than C. 23KB binaries.
Linux x86-64, Linux ARM64, macOS ARM64, WebAssembly. One language, every platform.
Every construct returns a value. ADTs, match, optional chaining with ?T. Ergonomic error handling.
~130 BNF rules. Fits in a single context window. Both humans and AI agents can hold the entire language in mind.
Familiar concepts, zero ceremony.
struct Point { x: i32 y: i32 } fn Point.distance(other: Point) -> f64 { let dx = (self.x - other.x) as f64 let dy = (self.y - other.y) as f64 (dx * dx + dy * dy) // simplified } fn main() { let p1 = Point.{ x: 0, y: 0 } let p2 = Point.{ x: 3, y: 4 } print("distance: {p1.distance(p2)}") }
fn main() { let ch = chan<i32>(10) spawn { for i in range(0, 5) { send(ch, i * 2) } } for _ in range(0, 5) { let val = recv(ch) print("received: {val}") } }
Omission is design. What we leave out defines the language.
