Oxide Language Overview — Clean, Intuitive Syntax

Oxide features a clean, Python-like syntax that's easy to learn yet powerful enough for complex systems programming. No semicolons, no verbose boilerplate — just write code that works.

Variables and Type Inference

# Numbers
age = 25
pi = 3.14159

# Strings
name = "Oxide"
message = "Hello, " + name + "!"

# Booleans
is_active = True
is_complete = False

Built-in Data Types

Oxide provides a rich set of built-in data types for all your programming needs:

Type	Example	Description
Integer	42	Whole numbers with arbitrary precision
Float	3.14	IEEE 754 floating-point decimal numbers
String	"Hello"	UTF-8 encoded text values
Boolean	True, False	Logical values for conditionals
List	[1, 2, 3]	Dynamic ordered collections

Powerful Control Flow Statements

if age >= 18
    print "You are an adult."
elseif age >= 13
    print "You are a teenager."
else
    print "You are a child."
endif

Flexible Loop Constructs

# For loop
for i = 1 to 5
    print i
endfor

# For-each loop
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
for fruit in fruits
    print fruit
endfor

# While loop
counter = 0
while counter < 5
    print counter
    counter = counter + 1
endwhile

First-Class Functions

func add(a, b)
    return a + b
endfunc

func greet(name)
    print "Hello, " + name + "!"
endfunc

result = add(10, 20)
greet("World")

Object-Oriented Programming with Classes

class Person
    func init(name, age)
        self.name = name
        self.age = age
    endfunc

    func greet()
        print "Hello, my name is " + self.name
    endfunc
endclass

person = new Person("Alice", 30)
person.greet()

Build Native GUI Applications — Cross-Platform Desktop & Mobile Apps

Create stunning native graphical applications using Spyxpo's powerful OGRE rendering engine. Build once, deploy to Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS:

use ogre

scaffold = Scaffold()

appBar = AppBar()
appBar.title("My App")
appBar.backgroundColor("#6200EE")

body = Center()
column = Column()
column.mainAxisAlignment("center")

title = Text("Welcome to Oxide!")
title.fontSize(24)

button = Button("Click Me")
button.backgroundColor("#03DAC6")

column.add(title)
column.add(button)
body.add(column)

scaffold.appBar(appBar)
scaffold.body(body)

RunApp("My Application", 400, 600, scaffold)

---

Foreign Function Interface (FFI) — Seamless C/C++ Integration

Oxide provides a powerful FFI that lets you call native C/C++ libraries directly, giving you access to millions of existing libraries:

link "./libmymath.dylib"

native func add(a, b) from "native_add"
native func sqrt(x) from "native_sqrt"

result = add(10, 20)
root = sqrt(16.0)

---

HTTP Requests — Built-in Networking Support

Oxide includes a powerful HTTP client out of the box for building web services, REST API clients, and networked applications:

use http

response = get("https://api.example.com/data")
print response

result = postJson("https://api.example.com/users", '{"name": "John"}')
download("https://example.com/file.zip", "output.zip")
