AshesA pure functional language, compiled to native binaries

No GC. No runtime. Just a native executable.

Pure and immutable

No mutation, no reassignment, no statements, no null. Everything is an expression; iteration is recursion and pattern matching.

Compiles .ash source straight to standalone ELF and PE binaries via LLVM for linux-x64, linux-arm64, and win-x64 — zero runtime dependencies.

Full type inference with let-polymorphism. Annotate at module boundaries; let the compiler do the rest.

Functions declare the operations they need — Clock, Log, State — satisfied by scoped handlers or static providers, checked at compile time.

async/await lowered to state machines, structured parallelism across cores — with deterministic destruction instead of a garbage collector.

One CLI for compile, run, test, fmt, and projects — plus a language server, debugger, and VS Code extension.
