Notice: Hare is a work in progress! It may be mature enough to support your use-case, but there may also be some breaking changes between releases. Users are strongly encouraged to subscribe to hare-announce for details of breaking changes in each release.

Hare is a systems programming language designed to be simple, stable, and robust. Hare uses a static type system, manual memory management, and a minimal runtime. It is well-suited to writing operating systems, system tools, compilers, networking software, and other low-level, high performance tasks.

use fmt;

export fn main() void = {
	const greetings = [
		"Hello, world!",
		"¡Hola Mundo!",
		"Γειά σου Κόσμε!",
		"Привіт, світ!",
		"こんにちは世界！",
	];
	for (let i = 0z; i < len(greetings); i += 1) {
		fmt::println(greetings[i])!;
	};
};
