It contains the compiler,\nstandard library, and documentation.\n\n\u003e **Alpha** — early release, expect breaking changes.\n\n[Iron]: https://github.com/victorl2/iron-lang\n\n## Install\n\n```sh\ncurl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/victorl2/iron-lang/main/scripts/install.sh | sh\n```\n\nPre-built binaries are available for **macOS** (arm64, x86_64) and **Linux** (x86_64) on the [releases page](https://github.com/victorl2/iron-lang/releases).\n\n## Why Iron?\n\n- **Performance:** Iron compiles to C and produces native binaries with the runtime statically linked. No garbage collector, no VM, no interpreter overhead.\n\n- **Control:** You manage memory explicitly — stack, heap, reference counting — with compiler-assisted safety nets. No borrow checker, no hidden allocations.\n\n- **Concurrency:** Thread pools, parallel loops, and concurrency primitives are first-class language features, not library afterthoughts.\n\n- **Legibility:** No operator overloading, no implicit conversions, no hidden control flow. When you read Iron code, you know what it does.\n\n## Quick Start\n\nRead the [language overview](docs/language_definition.md) for a tour of the\nlanguage and its features.\n\n## Building from Source\n\nIf you prefer to build from source, see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) for instructions.\n\n## Getting Help\n\nThis project is in early alpha. If you run into problems, please\n[open an issue](https://github.com/victorl2/iron-lang/issues) on GitHub.\n\n## Contributing\n\nSee [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).\n\n## License\n\nIron is distributed under the terms of the Apache License (Version 2.0).\n\nSee [LICENSE](LICENSE) for details.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvictorl2%2Firon-lang","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fvictorl2%2Firon-lang","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fvictorl2%2Firon-lang/lists"}
