Rux Programming Language

Rux is a fast, compiled, strongly typed, multi-paradigm programming language.

Native Performance

Rux compiles to lean, self-contained native binaries — no virtual machines, no interpreters, no garbage collector pauses. Ship code that runs as fast as the hardware allows.

Bulletproof Type System

No implicit conversions and surprises. Primitive data types from 8 to 512 bits, multi-width Unicode characters, slices, tuples, structs, enums, and unions — all resolved at compile time, zero runtime cost.

Memory Safety

References (&T) and pointers (*T) are first-class and distinct. Get the safety of high-level code and the power of low-level control — without the discipline tax or the complexity.

Multi-Paradigm Design

Write imperative code, compose with higher-order functions, or model with structs and interfaces — whatever fits the problem. All paradigms, zero runtime overhead, no forced style.

Full Hardware Access

Inline assembly, raw pointer arithmetic, union-based memory reinterpretation, direct foreign function interface. When you need the metal, Rux gets out of the way.

Clean Syntax

Reads like pseudocode and compiles like assembly. No ceremony, no hidden conversions, no boilerplate. Code that looks right usually is right.

Instant Toolchain

The entire toolchain — compiler, package manager, formatter, and test runner — ships as a small single binary with zero dependencies. One download, everything included.

Cross-Platform

From command line tools to game engines and servers — Rux handles it all. Target Windows, Linux, macOS, and more from the same clean source code.
