Kestrel-Programming-Language
Kestrel Programming Language
The Kestrel Programming Language is a multi-paradigm, statically and strongly typed, compiled programming language written in Rust.
Features
-
Ahead of time compilation - Kestrel is compiled ahead of time (AOT), instead of being interpreted or JIT compiled. AOT compilation allows Kestrel to catch entire classes of runtime errors, vastly improving the developer experience.
-
Statically typed - Kestrel resolves types at compile time, resulting in immediate warnings and feedback.
-
Performance - AOT compilation means that Kestrel programs are compiled directly to machine code, allowing programs to be executed on any target platform natively, with blazing fast performance.
-
Helpful compiler - Descriptive and detailed error messages improve the debugging experience.
-
Memory safe - Data ownership and references enforce what are good practices in other languages and eliminate an entire class of errors.
-
Algebraic type system - Algebraic types allow less code to represent powerful constructs.
