# Iona Programming Language
## Overview
Iona is a modern, highly asynchronous programming language designed for building scalable and efficient software. Iona focuses on modern practices like immutability, asynchronous computing and composition.
## Features
- 🔮 **Powered by .NET**: Iona runs on .NET, allowing it to consume any CLR compatible language.
- 🧊 **Immutability**: Immutable data structures and functions by default to increase robustness and predictability.
- 🧵 **Asynchronous by Nature**: Iona features sophasticated programming paradigms to make asynchronous programming enjoyable.
- 🔮 **Modern Syntax**: Clean and expressive syntax, enabling developers to achieve more with fewer lines and clear readability.
- 🎚️ **Scalability**: Iona is by nature scalable. Go small or run big.
- 🔗 **Strong Typing with Inference**: Strong typing capabilities with intelligent type inference.
- 🔋 **Batteries included**: Sophisticated standard library and first-class frameworks for various of tasks.
- 🔒 **Secure by design**: Highest standards on security, ensuring your apps are safe by default.
## Installation
```bash
# Replace with the desired version
curl -sSL https://iona-lang.org/install.sh | sh -s --
```
## Quick Start
A simple "Hello, World!" in Iona:
```iona
class World {
let name: String
init(name: String) {
self.name = name
}
fn hello() -> String {
"Hello World"
}
}
fn main() {
let world = World()
print(world.hello())
}
```
