Fun Uses Nothing — Life is too short not to code with fun... ;)
Influenced by Bash, **[C](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language)**, Go, **[Lua](https://www.lua.org/)**, **[Python](https://www.python.org/)**, and Rust (Most influenced languages are linked).
Developed and tested on:
- [GNU/Linux](https://kernel.org/) using [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/) and the [GNU C library](https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/) ([glibc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glibc))
- GNU/Linux using GCC and the [musl libc](https://musl.libc.org/)
- [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org/) using Clang and the [BSD libc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_standard_library#BSD_libc).
## Idea
* Simplicity
* Consistency
* Joy in coding
* Fun!
## Characteristics
* Dynamic and optionally statically typed
* Type safety (Not safe yet)
* Written in C / Internally no_camel_case... ;)
* Only a minimal function set is written in C; All other core libraries are implemented in Fun
## The Fun Manifesto
Fun is a programming language built on a simple idea:
Coding should be enjoyable, elegant, and consistent.
### Philosophy
- **Fun is Fun**<br>
Programming should spark creativity, not frustration. Code in Fun feels light, playful, and rewarding.
- **Fun Uses Nothing**<br>
Minimalism is power. No unnecessary features, no endless syntax variations, no formatting debates. Just clean, uniform code.
- **Indentation is Truth**<br>
Two spaces, always. No tabs, no four-space wars. Code should look the same everywhere, from your laptop to /usr/bin/fun.
- **One Way to Do It**<br>
No clutter, no 15 ways of writing the same thing. Simplicity means clarity.
- **Hackable by Nature**<br>
Fun should be small and embeddable, like Lua. Easy to understand, extend, and tinker with — true to the hacker spirit.
- **Beautiful Defaults**<br>
A language that doesnt need linters, formatters, or style guides. Beauty is built in.
### The Community
Fun is not about being the fastest or the most feature-rich. Its about sharing joy in coding. The community should be:
- Respectful
- Curious
- Creative
Like the name says: Fun Unites Nerds.
### The Goal
A language that feels like home for developers who:
- Love minimal, elegant tools
- Believe consistency is freedom
- Want to write code that looks good and feels good
Fun may not change the world — but it will make programming a little more fun.
## To do
Everything... ;) No, a lot of stuff works already, but only a tiny set of functions are available in the Fun programming language. It grows from day to day...
