A statically typed, compiled programming language.
EZ is a statically typed, compiled programming language that produces native binaries. Source files (.ez) are compiled to C, then to machine code. The result is a single binary with no runtime dependencies.
- Static type system with type inference
- Structs with scoped functions
- Multi-return values and error handling
- String interpolation, enums, when/is expressions
- 26 standard library modules (HTTP, JSON, crypto, SQLite, threads, and more)
- Compiles in milliseconds

git clone https://github.com/SchoolyB/EZ.git
cd EZ
make build
make installNote: EZ currently supports macOS and Linux only.
Create a file called main.ez:
do main() {
println("Hello, World!")
}
Run it:
ez main.ezEZ compiles your code to a native binary, executes it, and cleans up.
