Zero – Programming Language for Agents
Zero is an experimental programming language designed for agent workflows, focusing on reliable autonomous software generation. It emphasizes token efficiency, low memory usage, and fast builds, but is not suitable for production systems or sensitive data. The language features a command-line interface for inspecting and repairing code, with a compatibility policy that allows for breaking changes before reaching version 1.0.
- ▪Zero is optimized for token efficiency, low memory usage, and fast startup.
- ▪The language is not ready for production systems and should be run in isolated environments.
- ▪The compiler exposes structured command output for diagnostics and repair plans.

zerolang Experimental programming language for agent workflows. Built for reliable autonomous software generation. Optimized for: Token efficiency Low memory usage Fast startup Fast builds Low runtime latency Zero dependencies Safety status Security vulnerabilities should be expected. zerolang is not ready for production systems, sensitive data, or trusted infrastructure. Run and develop it in isolated, disposable environments. Agent Workflow Interfaces A small program shows function definitions, return rows, prefix calls, fallibility, and indentation: fn answer i32 ret + 40 2 pub fn main Void world World ! if == answer() 42 check world.out.write "math works\n" The compiler exposes the workflow through CLI commands with stable structured output.
