The language reference maps syntax materials into topic pages with plain explanations. Each topic includes a short overview, representative signatures, notes about behavior, and practical guidance.
Pages can be read in order or used independently. They prioritize stable constructs and clear behavior over shorthand descriptions.
Variables
Declaration and mutation patterns for local and static storage.
Constants
Compile-time values that cannot be reassigned.
Functions
Function declarations, arguments, return types, and visibility.
Generics
Compile-time generic templates for functions and structures.
Modules
Imports, aliases, and selective import scopes.
Statements
Conditional and control statements for runtime execution.
Compile-Time Conditionals
Target-dependent branching using @if, @elif, and @else.
Attributes
Declaration modifiers for linkage, calling convention, and compile-time behavior.
Builtins
Compiler-provided functions, low-level memory and ABI operations, and builtin types for type, target, host, and compile-time work.
Casts
Explicit type conversion between compatible source and target types.
Loops
while, for, and loop constructs for repeated execution.
Structs
User-defined aggregate types with named fields.
Enums
Named constants grouped under a common enum name.
Foreign Function Interface
Calling C functions through @extern and @convention attributes.
Deref and Pointers
Pointer access, references, and dereference operations.
