v0.0.3-alpha
alpha
A simple, fast, and systems-level programming language — for modern and older machines.
Alpha Status – This project is in active development.
It's full of bugs, not production-ready, and more educational than industrial.
Use it for learning and testing new features.
Quick Install
One-liner for Linux / macOS:
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ekolang/eko/main/install.sh | bash
Windows: download eko-setup.exe

Hello World
generate main() {
write("Hello World!\n");
return 0;
}
write("Hello World!\n");
return 0;
}
→ "Hello World!"
Why P/?
We all love C, but it's hard to use in large projects and pointers make many people suffer. The goal of Eko is the same as C — systems-level control — but with a simple, human-friendly syntax, inspired by Turbo C, and designed for a modern workflow.
