Syntax¶

Arkoi is still evolving, so this page keeps the syntax overview short and example-driven.

Functions¶

Functions currently use fun, a typed parameter list, and a typed return annotation:

fun main() @s32:
    return 0

Some examples also omit the trailing colon and rely on indentation for the body:

fun main() @u64
    return 1

Types¶

The current examples use @-prefixed types such as:

@s32
@u32
@u64
@f32
@f64
@bool

Control flow¶

The language currently shows simple if, else, while, and return forms in the examples and tests.

fun ok(foo @s32) @bool
    if foo return 1
    return 0

Try the examples¶

If you want a small reference while reading, start with the example/hello_world/hello_world.ark file and then look at the scanner snapshot example in the tests.
