Azin (and what happens with rux)

Azin

Azin is going to be a statically typed systems programming, it just started the designing process. It is quite Interesting.

What about Rux?

Me and another 5 people that were the core contributors/maintainers of Rux (pascalecu, zapaxe, alien, twlve, bryson) left Rux, and we teamed up to make a new language, called Azin.

Current State

it is too early for me, to provide many details, because I don't even know them myself. But we did settle down on the functions and variable declaration.

Variable declaration

var x = 5;

The type is inferred to by int and x is immutable by default.

var x: int = 5;

Type is int, x is immutable by default

var mut x = 5;

type is Inferred to be an int, and x is mutable.

var mut x: int = 5;

x is int and mutable

Functions

fn main: int do
    return 1;
end

You might be wondering: "Where are the parentheses???". We decided to make zero argument functions with no parens. This is how you call them:

fn version: string do
    return "0.1.2";
end

fn main: int do
    var x: string = version; // x is "0.1.2"
    return 0;
end

This is a function with arguments:

fn add(a: int, b: int): int do
    return a + b;
end

This may get outdated quickly, it's best to check the syntax proposals in the docs

Thanks for stopping by.
