Hair: A Systems Programming Language Designed for Stability and Robustness
Hair is a systems programming language that aims to be simple, stable, and robust. It prioritizes stability as a goal, distinguishing itself from other projects. Hair provides flexibility and portability similar to C, but with added features such as better error handling, slices, and improved string support. The language also benefits from a standard library that enhances C's limitations. While still under development, Hair is already being used effectively, offering fast and efficient code writing experiences, especially for designing interfaces and achieving interface goals. The focus on usability and performance makes Hair an appealing choice for programmers seeking stability in their software development processes.
