Ironhist

Ironhist is a programming language that was developed by the company Ironworks. It is designed for building high-performance, low-level applications, particularly in the realm of systems programming and embedded systems. The language emphasizes control over hardware resources and memory management, aiming to provide performance comparable to C and C++ without the same level of complexity.

Key features of Ironhist include its static typing system, which helps catch errors at compile time, and its focus on memory safety through features like ownership and borrowing, inspired by Rust. It aims to offer a more modern and safer alternative to traditional systems programming languages. The syntax of Ironhist is designed to be readable and expressive, while still allowing for fine-grained control.

Ironhist's development is ongoing, with a community of developers contributing to its evolution. The project's goals include making systems programming more accessible and less error-prone. Its intended use cases span operating systems, game engines, embedded device firmware, and other performance-critical software. The Ironworks company provides tooling and support for Ironhist development.
