Kestrel is a pure, strongly typed functional language that compiles to js.

```rust

// Type is inferred as `Fn(Int) -> String`

pub let fizz_buzz = fn n {

  match (n % 3, n % 5) {

    (0, 0) => "FizzBuzz",

    (0, _) => "Fizz",

    (_, 0) => "Buzz",

    _ => String.from_int(n),

  }

}

```

Take a look at the [language tour](https://github.com/ascandone/kestrel-lang/blob/main/language-tour.md) to learn more. You can find some examples by looking at the standard library [implementation](https://github.com/ascandone/kestrel_core/tree/main/src)

### Get started

> You can try kestrel without installing it on the [online playground](https://kestrel-playground.vercel.app/).

Install the `kestrel` cli using npm:

```bash

npm install -g kestrel-lang

```

Lsp integration is available as a [vscode extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ascandone.kestrel-vscode).
