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.
