Hylo | The Hylo Programming Language
Hylo is a zero-cost abstraction language that fully acknowledges the physical constraints of computer architecture. Yet, it presents a user model that marries these constraints with the benefits of value-oriented programming.
The Hylo Programming Language
The Hylo project aims to develop a programming language that is not only fast and safe but also simple. By simple, we mean that Hylo should be accessible to users from all sorts of backgrounds. A part of that objective lies in the language design, another in its community.
Introduction | Language tour - Hylo
This tour gives an overview of Hylo's features in the form of a progressive guide. It assumes familiarity with an imperative programming language such as JavaScript, Python, C or C++. This tour does not cover the entire language.
Concurrency | Language tour - Hylo
Understanding how the application uses spawn abstractions and how it interacts with the non-Hylo code is enough to understand the costs associated with concurrency. Hylo allows the user to fully customize the handling of concurrency.

Modules | Language tour - Hylo
A Hylo program is composed of modules, each of which is composed of one or more files. A module that defines a public main function is called an entry module , of which there must be exactly one per program.
Basic types | Language tour - Hylo
Hylo's standard library defines the types that are most commonly used, including numeric types (e.g., Int, Float64), text strings (String), Booleans (Bool), and types to represent data structures. The remainder of this section gives an overview of the most important ones.
Functions and methods | Language tour - Hylo
Functions are first-class citizens in Hylo, meaning that they be assigned to bindings, passed as arguments or returned from functions, like any other value. When a function is used as a value, it is called a closure.

Hello, World! | Language tour - Hylo
Tradition says language guides should start with a program that displays "Hello, World!" on the screen. Let's oblige!
