Introduction

Zith is a statically typed compiled language with a specification that is ahead of its implementation. This portal is therefore language documentation in draft form, not a stability guarantee.

Read the right document

• Start with Quick Start to create and run a project.
• Use the Language Guide for short practical explanations.
• Use the Language Reference for the canonical specification.
• Check Implementation Status before using a feature in production code.

The compiler currently supports core declarations, bindings, structs and pointers, the full operator set including compound assignment and bitwise operators, when pattern matching, all three working for forms, function overloading, macros and tag macros, raw opaque handles, memory qualifiers at the type level, modules, and C header imports. All of it lowers through HIR to LLVM code generation for x86-64 and WebAssembly.

Generic declarations parse and type-check but cannot yet be instantiated. Ownership analysis (NRA) has its pipeline boundary and the view write rule but not the full state machine. Comptime evaluation, const fn, dyn dispatch, async execution, and context-based extensions remain specification-only.
