A modern, expressive programming language for data science and scientific computing, featuring a self-hosting compiler, comprehensive tooling, and enterprise-grade quality standards.
Installation
Quick Start
# Start interactive REPL
# Run a script
# Evaluate expression
# Compile to binary
Language Features
// Variables and functions
let name = "Ruchy"
fun greet(who) {
println(f"Hello, {who}!")
}
greet(name)
// Pattern matching
let value = Some(42)
match value {
Some(x) => println(f"Got {x}"),
None => println("Nothing"),
}
// Labeled loops (v4.0)
'outer: for i in 0..10 {
for j in 0..10 {
if i * j > 50 {
break 'outer
}
}
}
// Collections
let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
let doubled = numbers.map(|x| x * 2)
println(f"Doubled: {doubled:?}")

Safety & Concurrency
Ruchy generates 100% safe Rust code with full concurrency support:
- Thread-safe globals via
LazyLock<Mutex<T>> - Full async/await support (tokio runtime)
- Channels, atomics, and all Rust concurrency primitives
- Zero unsafe code in generated output
// Thread-safe by default
let mut counter = 0
fun increment() {
counter = counter + 1 // Thread-safe
}
// Async functions
async fun fetch(url: String) -> String {
let response = http::get(url).await?
response.text().await
}
WebAssembly
