Krait

Why Krait?

• Transpiles directly to NASM assembly
• Perfect for kernel and bootloader development
• Includes typedef, namespace, inline asm, and memory access
• No runtime, no garbage collection – raw control over hardware
• Simple, readable syntax but with powerful system-level capabilities

Hello, Krait

let int x = 3;
let int y = 4;
let int sum = x + y;
print sum;

Pointer Access

let int* ptr = &x;
print *ptr;

Inline Assembly

asm {
  mov rax, 1
  mov rdi, 1
  lea rsi, [message]
  mov rdx, 13
  syscall
}

Documentation

The Krait language is designed for systems programming enthusiasts. It’s lightweight, direct, and powerful. You can:

• Write a kernel with full memory control
• Use namespaces to organize your code
• Define low-level types and structures
• Embed assembly for device control
• Control hardware without the overhead of a runtime

Documentation will be published soon. Stay tuned for the developer handbook and example OS projects.
