Fig is a statically-typed, expression-oriented programming language designed for clarity, safety, and modern development practices. With features inspired by Go, Rust, and JavaScript, Fig aims to provide a productive development experience while maintaining strong type safety.

Features

🚀 Core Language Features

• Static typing with type inference - Strong typing with minimal annotations
• Modern control flow - Full for loop support with proper scoping
• First-class functions - Lambda expressions and closures
• Rich data structures - Structs, lists, maps, and tuples
• Memory safety - No null pointer exceptions, automatic memory management

🔧 Technical Highlights

• Three-level scoping for loops - Proper variable isolation in iterations
• Smart semicolon handling - Flexible statement termination with RAII guards
• Comprehensive error handling - Detailed error messages with source locations
• Clean C++ implementation - Modern C++23 with RAII and smart pointers

🔧 Install
