Modern native language

Modern CodeNative Power

Silex is a simple, modern language for games and native applications, with modules, packages and native compilation built in.

Install Silex View the source

Main.sx

func answer() int {
    return 40 + 2
}

func main() {
    print(answer())
}

$ silex run Main.sx → 42

Simple

A focused language and integrated toolchain keep writing, building and sharing applications direct.

Clear ownership, automatic lifetimes and deterministic cleanup help prevent common resource errors.

Silex compiles directly to native applications and is designed for performance-sensitive games and software.

The standalone compiler does not require Zig or Git on the developer machine.
