About Turf

Turf is a compiled language built on LLVM. It has structs, enums, real generics, state machines, pattern matching, error unions, and a garbage-collected heap with checked references. The standard library covers strings, collections, files, JSON, HTTP and sockets. A project and package tool and a language server ship with it.

Programs compile to a single native executable that needs no Turf files at run time. Releases are self-contained on Linux (x86-64, arm64), macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows (x86-64): the archive carries the compiler, its LLVM, the linker and the runtime, so there is nothing else to install.

Get started

# Linux and macOS
curl -fsSL https://turflang.org/install.sh | sh
# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://turflang.org/install.ps1 | iex

Or use a package manager:

brew install turf-lang/turf/turf        # Homebrew
scoop bucket add turf https://github.com/turf-lang/scoop-turf
scoop install turf                      # Scoop

Then:

turf new hello && cd hello
turf run

turf-cli The turf command-line tool: projects, builds, tests, formatting and dependencies.
turf-lsp The language server, which runs the real compiler in-process for diagnostics, hover and completion.
turf-skills Skills that teach coding agents to write Turf.
turf-fuzz Fuzzing for the compiler, with findings promoted to regression tests.

Contributing

Bug reports, questions and pull requests are welcome. Report a compiler bug on turf-lang and include the output of turf version. Problems with the turf tool belong on turf-cli, and editor problems on turf-lsp. Each repository's README says how to build and test it.
