Swamp Programming Language 🐊

A magical language that lives in the swamp.

Swamp is a modern, statically-typed programming language designed for writing reliable and maintainable code. It combines functional programming concepts with pragmatic design choices to create an expressive and safe development experience.

🌟 Features

• Strong Static Typing: Catch errors at compile time with a powerful type system and type inference.
• Pattern Matching - Express complex control flow clearly and safely
• Immutability by Default: Reduce bugs with controlled mutability when needed.
• Algebraic Data Types (ADTs): Express data structures naturally with enum (sum types) and struct (product types).
• Module System: Organize code into reusable modules with explicit imports/exports.
• Zero-Cost Abstractions - High-level features with minimal runtime overhead
• Friendly Error Messages: Clear guidance when things go wrong, with source context.
