Examples

Simple example:

    }
}

Transpiles to the following JS:

"use strict";

function add(x, y) {
   return x + y;
}

function main() {
   const result = add(1, 2);
   if (result === 3) {
      console.log("will always print");
   }
}

Types:

let x :: number = 2

fn hello(world:: string) -> string {
    return world
}

fn sayBack(world:: string) -> string {
    return world
}

fn doStuffInline(test:: string) -> string = test
