Wantzel

A strict, fast language, and the studio to build in it

Wantzel is a programming language made for code that an AI agent writes: strict, fast and verbose. Its compiler is one file without dependencies. Wantzel Studio is where you write, run and debug it.

A copper compiler machine turns a stream of code into one small glowing program, connected by a pipe to a brass screen with code, a terminal and a database: the Wantzel workshop at dusk, with a small robot at work

Two products, one language

  1. The copper compiler machine takes in glowing code and shoots out one small glowing cube, the program; a robot on top holds a gauge and a stopwatch

    The Wantzel compiler

    Compiles in milliseconds to small binaries, with no dependencies. When code is wrong, the error names the file, the line and the reason, so an agent can act on it.

    One file for Linux x86-64, with the standard library inside. It carries the full language specification.

    Wantzel Studio
