A general purpose, statically typed, broadly mid-level, object-oriented systems programming language for precise control over binary data.
A general purpose, statically typed, broadly mid-level, object-oriented systems programming language for precise control over binary data.
Flux is a compiled systems language that combines C-like performance with Python-inspired syntax. It's designed for programmers who need direct memory control and bit-level precision without fighting complex abstractions.
Design Philosophy: Flux follows a "high-trust" model. The language provides powerful tools. The programmer is responsible for using them correctly. Explicit is better than implicit. Performance and control over safety guarantees.
This means: Manual memory management (no garbage collection). No borrow checker (you manage lifetimes). Direct hardware access when needed. Full compile-time programming capabilities.
Flux is well-suited for: Embedded systems - Direct hardware register access Network protocols - Zero-copy packet parsing File format handling - Binary data interpretation Game engines - Memory-efficient entity systems Device drivers - Memory-mapped I/O Performance-critical code - When you need C-level control
Flux may not be the best choice for: Applications where memory safety is critical Projects requiring a mature ecosystem Teams new to systems programming Rapid prototyping of business logic
Flux is in active development. The language specification is complete, but implementation is ongoing
