I made a programming language (r/SideProject)

Finally released **Zeen v0.1.0** (first stable release). It is a modern systems compiled programming language. It uses move semantics to control data flow and automatically insert drops at the compile time, so no runtime overhead. Currently I'm working on LSP server for it. Futures plans are to…

Zeen Programming Language

Zero-cost Efficient Execution Natively


Zeen - a modern systems programming language focused on performance, safety and simplicity.

It uses move semantics with automatic drops, so data is released right after usage without a garbage collector or runtime overhead, and there is no borrow checker. Most errors are caught at compile time, and the compiler emits native code through LLVM.

See examples, installation and documentation at: zeen-lang.tech

Why Zeen?

  • Familiar by design. Clean, modern syntax inspired by Rust and Zig.
  • Native performance. Built on LLVM, compiles to optimized native code.
  • Move semantics. Explicit ownership and automatic drops, without a garbage collector or hidden runtime overhead.
  • Freedom to build. No unnecessary restrictions, direct control over your data, memory and program flow.
