The Joy of Code

English language documentation currently under development.

Automatic translation of the the Japanese documentation is available.

Thank-you for your understanding.

There is a certain joy in writing code -- especially code that you can reason within your head.

For many programmers, writing software in the C language is invaluable due to its speed and support for a wide number of compiler targets. C is the backbone of modern society.

C is one of the most widely used programming languages of all time.

Unfortunately, the C language is better known for its:

• undefined behavior
• lack of built-in unit testing
• pitfalls with the preprocessor
• Non-standardized, library dependent error handling.

Can we do better?

As the demand for more computer-aided infrastructure is always rising, these systems will undoubtedly be connected to the Internet and therefore be susceptible to abuse. It is therefore important to create better tools that can help programmers and engineers develop the future of secure societies.

Zen is the language for programmers who want to experience writing perfect software.
