Modern design.
Bare-metal control.
A statically-typed, compiled language for systems programming. Manual memory management for predictable performance.
package main
func main() {
// Array programming
a := [4]int{1, 2, 3, 4}
b := [4]int{10, 20, 30, 40}
// Element-wise addition
c := a + b
// Inline C for performance
x := 42
#inline "printf(\"C says: %d\\n\", ${x});"
}No Garbage Collection
Complete control over memory with make, append, and free. Designed for predictable performance in systems programming.
C89 Backend
Compiles to portable C89 code. Run Saurus anywhere you have a C compiler, from embedded devices to supercomputers.
Clean Modern Syntax
A readable, minimal syntax that feels familiar yet distinct. Designed to reduce boilerplate while maintaining strict type safety.
Vector Operations
Built-in support for array programming. Perform element-wise arithmetic operations on arrays directly, simplifying math-heavy code.
Inline C
Seamlessly embed raw C code with #inline for easy FFI and maximizing performance when you need it most.
Code Examples
Dynamic Arrays
func main() {
nums := make([dynamic]int, 0, 4)
nums = append(nums, 1, 2, 3)
for i, v in nums {
printf("nums[%d] = %d\n", i, v)
}
free(nums)
}Structs & Pointers
struct Point {
x int
y int
}
func main() {
p := new(Point)
p.x = 10
p.y = 20
free(p)
