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.
