SWITCHED TO ZIG

long story short, C++ sucks so i switched to Zig.

How to try haste?

1. You got to clone this repo and navigate to where you cloned it

git clone https://github.com/mega-haste/haste-lang
cd haste-lang

2. You should be already installed zig in order to try haste

zig build run

3. Now create a main.haste

touch main.haste

4. Edite main.haste file you created earlier and add these folowing lines

func main() {
    let a: int = 50; # Expected warning
}

Hello World

func main() {
    # no working hello world yet :(
    # but we got variables :D
    let x = 5;
    let mut y = 9;
    y += 1;
}

# My desired hello world
func main() {
    @println("Hello World");
}

Design goals

• Compiler works for you, and helps you to understand the error or the problems in your code.
• Compile time errors are better than run-time ones.
• Implicit when it needs to be implicit. Explicit when it needs to be explicit.
• No multiple syntaxes for the same job.
• Readable syntax.

I dropped the idea of tags, sorry Amir
