# Fun Fun Uses Nothing - The programming language for having fun. Influenced by C, Go, Lua, Python and Rust. ## Idea * Simplicity * Consistency * Joy in coding * Fun! ## Characteristics * Dynamic * No pointers * Type safety * Written in C / Internally no_camel_case... ;) ## The Fun Manifesto Fun is a programming language built on a simple idea: Coding should be enjoyable, elegant, and consistent. ### Philosophy - **Fun is Fun**
Programming should spark creativity, not frustration. Code in Fun feels light, playful, and rewarding. - **Fun Uses Nothing**
Minimalism is power. No unnecessary features, no endless syntax variations, no formatting debates. Just clean, uniform code. - **Indentation is Truth**
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**
No clutter, no 15 ways of writing the same thing. Simplicity means clarity. - **Hackable by Nature**
Fun should be small and embeddable, like Lua. Easy to understand, extend, and tinker with — true to the hacker spirit. - **Beautiful Defaults**
A language that doesn’t need linters, formatters, or style guides. Beauty is built in. ### The Community Fun is not about being the fastest or the most feature-rich. It’s 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.
