What is Cylium?

Cylium is a minimalistic programming language focused on clarity and control.
It combines the efficiency of low-level languages such as C and Rust
with a clean, easy-to-learn syntax.

The language emphasizes simplicity while still offering precise control over memory.
Explicit memory management is available when needed, without unnecessary boilerplate.

• Clear and minimal design — clean, expressive syntax focused on readability and control

• Low-level efficiency — inspired by the performance and control of C and Rust

• Flexible usage — suitable for scripting, tooling, and systems-level development

Example:

# read input from user
var name = input

# printing on stdout
echo Hello, {name}!

# exit the program gracefully
delete name
exit 0
