Overview

Kex is a functional language with Ruby-like syntax, immutability by default, and an Elixir-style process model.

Values

Everything is a value, and values are immutable unless you say otherwise:

let name = "world"
IO.printLine("hello, ${name}")

Immutability is the default, not a mode. var opts out of it for one binding.

What you get

• UFCS — xs.map(f) and map(xs, f) are the same call
• Traits — behaviour shared across types
  • with defaults
  • and required methods
• Processes — isolated, message-passing, supervised

See the reference for the standard library.
