usage.

THiS PROGRAM DECLARES A COMPONENT (counter) COMPOSED BY TWO BUTTONS (<button>) AND A TEXT-BiNDiNG ({count}) ASSiGNED TO 0 BY DEFAULT. EACH BUTTON CONTAiNS AN EVENT (@click), ON CLiCK, iT TRiGGERS AND EXECUTES AN ACTiON TO DECREASE OR iNCREASE THE count VALUE. iT THEN RENDERS THE COMPONENT ViA A DiRECTiVE (#render).

fun main() {
  mut count: int = 0;

  imu counter: </> ::= <>
    <button @click={fn() => count -= 1}>-</button>
    {count}
    <button @click={fn() => count += 1}>+</button>

zo is in early development and is not yet ready for production. Currently it supports desktop (ARM64), MacOS (iOS, tvOS, visionOS, watchOS), web (bundled or webview). We plan to support more — desktop (Linux, Windows) and mobile (Android). Styling is not yet fully unified across all platforms.

Important

This project is about having fun again. It is maintained by a small group of volunteers during their spare time. We're exploring. zo is not the new X or better than Y, zo is just different. Period. Be gentle.

Caution

For transparency: regarding Ai usage, we're using Ai to build zo based on our architecture and specification (made by humans). The compiler currently covers over 1500 unit and integration tests.
