Horse64 Root is a system language similar to C/C++, reimagined with a focus on easy syntax, understandable OOP, and some baked-in safety features. This is a sibling variant of the main Horse64 language intended for lower level components.
import str from root.horse64.org
func main -> i32 {
var s <- str.str("Hello from Horse64 Root!")
if failed(str.str) {
return -1
}
print(s)
return 0
}
Its uses are:
-
Simpler than C++, but still has competent object-oriented programming (OOP),
-
Borrows its syntax and approachable look from Horse64,
-
Has various memory safety features,
-
Great C inter-operability,
-
Suitable for systems level code and low level code.
Currently unusable, stay tuned.
This repository holds the code of the m64 stdlib, which is the m64 standard
library, and its main documentation. The code is officially hosted on
Codeberg with a GitHub
mirror. The code of the horsec compiler is part of the core.horse64.org
package instead.
The recommended way to install is to get the prebuilt Horse64 SDK which includes the horsec compiler that handles Horse64 & Horse64 Root.
If you want to contribute or report a bug, you'll find the Horse64 ecosystem is made of a larger bunch of projects. Due to that, locating where each component is and where the code is, can occasionally be challenging. Therefore, there's a handy resource list for finding projects and code locations to help you out.
