Chakra

Chakra is a programming language for the future, and today. Lightning-fast concurrency meets pure functional programming.

Chakra comes with powerful abstractions based on the best parts of pure FP and the Actor model. All while being boilerplate-free.

• 100% type inference

  The whole application is typed with no annotations on your part. Just create the types you need, and Chakra does the rest.

• Managed Effects

  All side-effects are handled by a lightweight runtime, making your code easier to reason about.

• Native performance

  Chakra is compiled down to highly-optimized machine code for every supported platform through LLVM

• Simple syntax

  With very few syntactic constructs, no keywords, and a small set of special characters, Chakra is incredibly readable even to beginners

• Memory safe

  Chakra uses turn-based automatic reference counting to ensure that all memory references are live, while providing consistent performance.

• Capability secure

  All system resources are protected by explicit capability delegation. You decide what third-party code has access to.
