Prim is a programming language that values simplicity, safety, and a useful and rich type system. It draws inspiration from both rust and go.

Primitive integer types: u8, i8, u16, i16, u32, i32, u64, i64, usize, isize. Primitive floating point types: f32, f64.

let x: u32 = 0
let x: u32 = 0u32
let x = 0u32

struct Point {
    x: f64,
    y: f64,
}

fn double(x: u32) -> u32 {
    let prod = x*x
    prod // return can be omitted
}

impl Point {
    fn x(&self) -> f64 {
        self.x
    }
}

if x == 5 {
    println("It is 5")
}

loop {
    println(x)
    break
}

To enforce formatting, linting, and tests on each commit, this repo includes a pre-commit hook under .githooks/pre-commit that runs:

• cargo fmt --all -- --check
• cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -D warnings
• cargo test --workspace --all-targets

The CLI resolves the standard library and runtime via PRIM_ROOT. For reliable local runs, use ./build.sh to stage a runnable tree under target/{debug,release}/dist and run bin/prim from there (or set PRIM_ROOT yourself to point at the staging root).

Enable it for your local clone:

git config core.hooksPath .githooks

Now git commit will fail if formatting or Clippy checks fail.
