> ` a blazingly fast, statically-typed expressive language for building anything from scripts to systems. `
---
> [!CAUTION]
> ### yttria is still in early development and is **EXTREMELY** experimental. expect breaking changes and limited documentation, some stuff may not even exist yet.
```rust
// fib.yt
fn fib(n: int) -> int {
if (n <= 1) {
return n
}
return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
}
```
## key goals
**high performance**: designed for speed, with performance rivaling Rust & C
**expressiveness**: write concise, clean & clear code for everything from web development to systems programming
**safety & ergonomics**: statically-typed with encouraged type inference & robust error handling
**write once, run anywhere**: build reliable software for any platform (or none at all) with a friendly std library
## why yttria?
yittria ([/ˈjɪtʃ.ri.ə/](https://ipa-reader.com/?text=%2F%CB%88j%C9%AAt%CA%83.ri.%C9%99%2F), pronounced `yi-tch-ria`) is a **fast, expressive language** that lets you build anything from scripts to systems.
It combines the **performance of C** with the **expressiveness of Typescript**, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced developers.
Whether you're building web apps, games, or low-level systems, yttria has you covered.
## syntax guide & language roadmap
the yttria syntax is designed to be **familiar and intuitive**, especially for those with experience in languages like Go/C, Typescript or Rust. view it [here](./docs/SYNTAX.md). the current progress with the yttria language is documented in the [todo](./TODO.md) and also in the [language roadmap](./docs/ROADMAP.md)
## getting started
to get started with yttria, you can use the cli tool.
```bash
# install the yttria cli tool
...
# create a new yttria project
yt init
# run your yttria program
yt run .
# build your yttria program
yt build .
```
## features
yttria includes a wide range of features to help you build robust applications:
- **statically typed** with type inference
- **powerful pattern matching** for concise data handling
- **macros** for metaprogramming and code generation
- **async/await** for easy concurrency
- **first-class functions** and **closures** (functions inside functions) for functional programming
- **extensive standard library** for common tasks
- **robust error handling** with `try/catch` and `Result` types
- **cross-platform support** for building applications on any platform
- and much more!
