The Wyvern project

Build Status

Wyvern is a new general-purpose programming language designed to support adaptation and assurance. Key features of Wyvern's evolving design include:

  • A simple object model with good support for both object-oriented and functional programming
  • Static type safety
  • Extensibility with domain-specific syntax via libraries written within the language
  • A simple but powerful capability-safe module system
  • Support for various aspects of software architecture within the running system

The best starting point for understanding Wyvern is the Wyvern manifesto: Wyvern: A Language for Usable Design-Driven Assurance

For an introduction to key concepts of the Wyvern language, see https://github.com/wyvernlang/docs/raw/master/guide/wyvern-guide.pdf

For information about how to build and run the Wyvern tools, and about the Wyvern tools architecture, see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wyvernlang/docs/master/tooldoc/wyvern-tool-architecture.mdk

Research papers on Wyvern and other material is available at the Wyvern web page, http://wyvernlang.github.io/
