This is the first version of buzz.

Here's a quick summary of buzz features as of this release:

  • strong type system
  • null safety
  • "error safety": much like zig, function signatures must specify which errors can be raised and error must be handled
  • objects (struct-like, no inheritance)
  • anonymous objects
  • protocols
  • enums
  • lists and maps
  • fibers (coroutines)
  • userdata (pointer to foreign data wrapped in a buzz value)
  • first-class citizen functions
  • arrow functions
  • generics
  • pcre regex
  • zic/c interop
  • syntax highlighting via vs code extension or by using the TextMate grammar file
  • minimal std lib: buffer, fs, io, os, math, gc, debug

You are all welcome to play with buzz and report any issue you encounter.

Please read the README for build instructions and a tour of the language. Documentation for the standard library of the language can be found here.

You'll find binaries for macOS-x86 below. Although I recommend building buzz yourself right now.
