Standard types and functions

The API documentation for the standard library can be found here. Some of the modules are only available if Gluon is compiled with the required features:

  • std.regex requires the regex feature (enabled by default)
  • std.random requires the rand feature (enabled by default)
  • All std.json.* modules require the serialization feature

TODO

Prelude

When compiling an expression, the compiler automatically inserts a small prelude before the expression itself, which gives automatic access to basic operators such as +, -, etc as well as types such as Option and Result.

Threads and channels

Gluon has support for cooperative threading and communication between them through the Thread and Sender/Receiver types.
