Yttria

<div align="center"> <img src="./assets/header.png" width="100%"> </div>

---

a blazingly fast, statically-typed expressive language for building anything from scripts to systems.

---

[!CAUTION]

yttria is still in early development and is EXTREMELY experimental. expect breaking changes and limited documentation, some stuff may not even exist yet.

<div style="display: flex; align-items: flex-start; gap: 2em;"> <div style="flex: 1; height: 100%;">

// fib.yt
fn fib(n: int) -> int {
    if (n <= 1) {
        return n
    }
    
    return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
}

</div> <div style="flex: 2;">

key goals

high performance: designed for speed, with performance rivaling Rust & C
expressiveness: write concise, clean & clear code for everything from web development to systems programming
safety & ergonomics: statically-typed with encouraged type inference & robust error handling
write once, run anywhere: build reliable software for any platform (or none at all) with a friendly std library

why yttria?

yittria (/ˈjɪtʃ.ri.ə/, pronounced yi-tch-ria) is a fast, expressive language that lets you build anything from scripts to systems.
It combines the performance of C with the expressiveness of Typescript, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced developers. Whether you're building web apps, games, or low-level systems, yttria has you covered.

syntax guide & language roadmap

the yttria syntax is designed to be familiar and intuitive, especially for those with experience in languages like Go/C, Typescript or Rust. view it here. the current progress with the yttria language is documented in the todo and also in the language roadmap

getting started

to get started with yttria, you can use the cli tool.

# install the yttria cli tool
...
# create a new yttria project
yt init
# run your yttria program
yt run .
# build your yttria program
yt build .

features

yttria includes a wide range of features to help you build robust applications:

• statically typed with type inference
• powerful pattern matching for concise data handling
• macros for metaprogramming and code generation
• async/await for easy concurrency
• first-class functions and closures (functions inside functions) for functional programming
• extensive standard library for common tasks
• robust error handling with try/catch and Result types
• cross-platform support for building applications on any platform
• and much more!
