# Kisumu Lang Features | ||
|
||
**Kisumu Lang** is a statically-typed programming language crafted for simplicity, performance, and scalability. Inspired by Go, Python, and Rust, Kisumu provides a robust environment for developing modern applications. Below are the key features that define Kisumu Lang and set it apart as a programming language of choice for developers: | ||
|
||
## **1. C-Style Syntax** | ||
|
||
Kisumu adopts a clean, easy-to-read syntax that feels familiar to developers with experience in C-style languages. | ||
|
||
**Example:** | ||
|
||
```ksm | ||
int age = 25 | ||
if (age > 18) { | ||
print("Adult") | ||
} else { | ||
print("Minor") | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## **2. Statically Typed** | ||
|
||
Kisumu enforces type safety through its statically-typed nature, ensuring: | ||
|
||
- Reduced runtime errors. | ||
- Improved code clarity and maintainability. | ||
- Better optimization by the compiler. | ||
|
||
**Example:** | ||
|
||
```ksm | ||
string name = "Kisumu" | ||
name = 123 // Compilation error: type mismatch | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## **3. First-Class Concurrency** | ||
|
||
Concurrency is a first-class citizen in Kisumu Lang, offering robust tools for managing concurrent processes: | ||
|
||
- **Goroutines**: Lightweight threads for efficient multitasking. | ||
- **Channels**: Safe communication between goroutines. | ||
- **Actor-based Model**: Encapsulation of state and behavior. | ||
|
||
**Example:** | ||
|
||
```ksm | ||
goroutine fn worker() { | ||
print("Working...") | ||
} | ||
worker() | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## **4. Extensibility** | ||
|
||
Kisumu supports modular development with a package-based structure, enabling: | ||
|
||
- Reusable and organized code. | ||
- Scalable development for large applications. | ||
|
||
**Example:** | ||
|
||
```ksm | ||
import math | ||
int result = math.add(5, 10) | ||
print(result) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## **5. Garbage Collection** | ||
|
||
Automatic memory management ensures developers can focus on building functionality without worrying about: | ||
|
||
- Memory leaks. | ||
- Manual deallocation of resources. | ||
|
||
## **6. Interoperability** | ||
|
||
Seamless Foreign Function Interface (FFI) support allows Kisumu programs to: | ||
|
||
- Interact with libraries written in C, Go, and other languages. | ||
- Extend functionality without reinventing the wheel. | ||
|
||
**Example:** | ||
|
||
```ksm | ||
external fn cFunction() | ||
cFunction() | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## **7. Developer Productivity** | ||
|
||
Kisumu includes features aimed at enhancing developer productivity: | ||
|
||
- Comprehensive standard library. | ||
- Built-in debugging tools. | ||
- Interactive REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) for rapid prototyping. | ||
|
||
## **8. Cross-Platform Support** | ||
|
||
Write once, run anywhere! Kisumu Lang compiles to multiple platforms, making it suitable for: | ||
|
||
- Web development. | ||
- Embedded systems. | ||
- Desktop and server applications. | ||
|
||
## **9. Community-Driven** | ||
|
||
Kisumu is an open-source language built with input from a global community of developers. Contributions are encouraged to: | ||
|
||
- Expand the language’s ecosystem. | ||
- Improve usability and features. | ||
|
||
Kisumu Lang is positioned to meet the demands of modern software development while remaining accessible to both new and experienced developers alike. |
