**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
|
|
# Installation
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Language Philosophy
|
|
Fig is designed around several core principles:
|
|
|
|
Clarity over cleverness - Code should be readable first
|
|
|
|
Safety by default - Prevent common errors at compile time
|
|
|
|
Modern ergonomics - Developer experience matters
|
|
|
|
Gradual learning - Simple to start, powerful when needed
|
