RazorForge¶

RazorForge is a language for programs that do exactly what you meant. You say what you intend, the builder checks your code against it, and the result behaves as written, down to what a number does at its edges. An entity lives in one place unless you put it under a manager to share it, and a marker appears in the code wherever something would otherwise happen without anyone noticing.

import IO/Console

routine start()
    var level: U8 = 200
    show(level +% 100)
    show(level +^ 100)
    show(level + 100)
    return

44
255
Integer overflow error: The value does not fit in the target type.

+% wraps, +^ clamps and + stops the program with a message when the result doesn't fit in a U8.

Status¶

The current version is 0.5. RazorForge is not released yet, and syntax and library routines can still change from one version to the next.
