Cyber language offers fast, memory-safe scripting with dynamic and static typing
Key points
- Cyber supports dynamic and static typing.
- It offers concurrency through fibers.
- The language is memory safe and cross-platform.
- Cyber includes FFI and embeddable capabilities.
Introduction to Cyber
Cyber is a new programming language focused on delivering fast and enjoyable scripting experiences. It incorporates features like dynamic and static typing, concurrency using fibers, and memory safety, making it suitable for various scripting needs.
Performance and Features
Designed with performance as a core principle, Cyber includes a fast VM and JIT compiler. The language is cross-platform, allowing for broad applicability. Comprehensive documentation is available for a detailed overview of its features.
Interoperability
Cyber offers strong interoperability through 'libcyber', which allows the language to be embedded into other applications. The command-line interface (CLI) and core library of Cyber are built using libcyber. Additionally, its Foreign Function Interface (FFI) API enables scripts to interact with C-ABI compatible libraries. A tool called 'cbindgen.cy' automates the generation of bindings from C header files, with examples including Raylib and LLVM.
Community and Support
Cyber is an evolving project that welcomes community contributions and ideas. Users can file issues on GitHub or join the Discord server for discussions. The project also accepts support through GitHub Sponsors and Patreon.
