Fuyu is a concurrent functional programming language designed around the idea that a small number of orthogonal yet cohesive features make code easy to read, write, and reason about.
Easy to understand
Fuyu has just four kinds of entities: types, values, functions, and implicits. Combine these to express complex ideas with surprising ease, all while maintaining a clean and readable codebase
Scalability
Spawn hundreds of thousands of lightweight tasks to tackle problems concurrently. Fuyu targets the BEAM virtual machine, making concurrency scalable and fault-tolerant.
Statically typed
The types of every expression are verified at compile time. If any types are inconsistent, the compiler rejects the program. This process eliminates an entire class of errors before the program is executed.
Type inference
Omit type annotations to reduce visual clutter while maintaining type safety. Type annotations are required for functions, and the compiler will determine the types for the rest.
Implicits
The compiler automatically inserts implicit arguments to functions based on the context in which the function is used. These are commonly used for polymorphism, but also enable more advanced behaviors.
Immutability
All values are immutable, allowing them to be safely shared between concurrent tasks without the need for synchronization. Programs are easier to understand because values remain constant after they are created.
