[](https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/corgifist/barley-lang/10/workflows/45b5d058-5c12-49f8-a44a-0a7f76fdf0c9)
## Key features
- functional programming
- function overloading (using clauses)
- pattern matching
- simple syntax (only 16 keywords)
- concurrency (TODO)
- null safety
- tuple support
- built-in optimization (constant folding, propagation, expression simplification and more)
- support for list, hashmap, string, number, atoms
- interop with JVM programs
- go style error handling
Zulu is a interpreted rust-like language based on JVM.
## Example
## Installation
Install the latest release and Java SE 21 and Apache Ant.
```sh
$ git clone git@github.com:hexaredecimal/Zulu.git
$ cd Zulu
