Introducing Unilang: Deepin’s New General-Purpose Programming Language

Deepin announced Unilang, a self‑developed, general‑purpose programming language aimed at simplifying desktop application development.

Unilang is Turing‑complete and provides expressive, reusable, extensible, scalable, multi‑paradigm, easy‑to‑use, and focused language features, allowing developers to write both client‑side and server‑side code without changing paradigms.

Key language features include a C++‑friendly object model, ability to call Unilang from C++, FFI for native modules, dynamic type checking, dynamic loading and execution, no garbage collector, proper tail calls, variable resolution, function calls, storage and object model similar to C++, first‑class functions, environments, references, entity traits, evaluation algorithm, runtime support, and interoperability.

Library features provide type annotations, static type checking, variable binding, block scope, list algorithms, module system, core libraries such as strings, numeric operations, I/O, enhanced type system, FFI API, and Qt bindings.

Example "Hello, world!" program: display "Hello, world!" Output: Hello, world! For more details, see the Unilang README, language documentation, feature description, interpreter implementation, and language specification on the GitHub repository.
