Familiar Syntax
Write Rust with Kotlin/Swift-style syntax. String interpolation, null safety operators, and clean syntax without semicolons make code readable and concise.
let name = "World"
println("Hello, $name!")
let value: Int? = 42
let doubled = value?.mapped { it * 2 } ?? 0
Full Rust Power
Oxide transpiles to standard Rust. You get all of Rust's safety guarantees, performance, and ecosystem compatibility.
// Oxide
fn <T: Clone> duplicate(x: T): (T, T) {
(x.clone(), x)
}
// Transpiles to Rust
fn duplicate<T: Clone>(x: T) -> (T, T) {
(x.clone(), x)
}
Modern Async
Prefix await syntax, structured concurrency with TaskGroup, async streams, and duration literals make async code intuitive.
async fn fetchAll(): Vec<Data> {
let results = await TaskGroup<Data> { group in
for url in urls {
group.add { await fetch(url) }
}
}
results
}
