Whirlwind.

Whirlwind is an open-source, statically-typed programming language for quickly and easily writing maintainable software. It is designed to be practical, easy to read and efficient.

Documentation 📑

The Whirlwind website is still pending. For more information relating to the source code, refer to the docs folder.

Features ✨

• First Class Functions.
• Static, Nominal Typing System.
• Support for Generic Programming.
• Support for Union Types.
• Inbuilt Testing capabilities.
• Modular organization.

Syntax 📐

Whirlwind is inspired heavily by the syntax of already existing languages. An example of Whirlwind code is:

/// Function to add two numbers.
function add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
   return a + b
}

/// Entry to the program.
function main() {
   add(2, 3)
}
