caret

caret is a statically typed, general-purpose programming language. It aims to provide a modern, strict alternative to C while retaining its familiar syntax and minimalist philosophy. It utilizes a garbage-collected memory model for the time being.

WIP: Implementation is in very early stage.

Proposed Syntax

#import <io>

void swap(int32 a^, int32 b^) {
    int32 temp = a^
    a^ = b^
    b^ = temp
}

void print_status(int32 status) {
    switch status {
        case 200, 201:
            io.println("Success!")
        case 404:
            io.println("Not found.")
        default:
            io.println("Unknown error.")
    }
}

int32 main(string args[]^) {
    defer print_status(200)

    int32 x = 5, y = 10
    swap(&x, &y)
}
