Fun
Fun Uses Nothing — Life is too short not to code fun... ;)
Influenced by Bash, C, Go, Lua, Python, and Rust.
I am testing on:
- GNU/Linux using GCC and the GNU C library (glibc)
- GNU/Linux using GCC and the musl libc
- FreeBSD using Clang and the BSD libc.
Idea
- Simplicity
- Consistency
- Joy in coding
- Fun!
Characteristics
- Static and optionally 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.
