Odin is a compiled, statically typed systems programming language designed for high-performance software development. It focuses on pragmatic low-level memory control, providing a toolset for manual memory management and precise control over hardware utilization.
The language is distinguished by its flexible memory model, which includes custom allocators and precise data layout capabilities to optimize resource usage. It features a comprehensive foreign function interface for importing assembly files and linking with external libraries using configurable calling conventions.
The type system supports parametric polymorphism for generic procedures and data structures, as well as discriminated unions and runtime type introspection. Additional core capabilities include enforced result handling, deferred execution, and the ability to embed binary assets directly into the compiled program.
Odin includes a built-in multi-threaded testing framework with integrated memory leak detection, timeout management, and failure reporting.
