zern

A very cool language

Features

• Clean indentation-based syntax
• Compiles to x86_64 Assembly
• Growing standard library
• Produces tiny static executables (11KB for hello.zr)
• No libc required!
• Has type inference, pipe operator, variadics, dynamic arrays, hashmaps, DNS resolver, etc.

Syntax

func main[] : i64
    answer := math.abs(os.urandom_i64()) % 100

    while true
        io.println("Guess a number: ")
        guess := io.read_line() |> str.trim() |> str.parse_i64()

        if guess == answer
            io.println("You win!")
            break
        else if guess < answer
            io.println("Too low!")
        else
            io.println("Too high!")

func square[x: i64] : i64
    return x * x

func sum[a: i64, b: i64] : i64
    return a + b

func main[] : i64
    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]
    |> alg.map(^square)
    |> alg.reduce(^sum, 0)
    |> io.println_i64()
