Overview

nlang is a modern systems programming language that combines Python-like syntax with Rust-like safety features. It compiles to native machine code using LLVM and provides zero-cost abstractions with memory safety.

Examples

Hello World

Your first nlang program

import std;

def main() {
    store message = "Hello, World!";
    println(message);
    println("Welcome to nlang programming!");
}

This demonstrates the basic structure of an nlang program with imports, functions, variable declaration, and output.

Quick Example

A more comprehensive example

import std;

def greet(name: string) {
    print("Hello, ");
    print(name);
    println("!");
}

def main() {
    greet("nlang developer");
    store year = 2024;
    println("Welcome to nlang in ", year);
}

Shows function definitions, type annotations, and basic string manipulation.

Important Notes

  • All nlang programs start with 'import std' to access standard library functions
  • Variables are declared with the 'store' keyword
  • Functions are defined with 'def' keyword
