Operators​

Operator overloading​

struct Vec2 { x: f32, y: f32 }

func +(a: Vec2, b: Vec2) Vec2 {
  return Vec2 { x: a.x + b.x, y: a.y + b.y }
}

Index operator​

func [](v: Vec2, i: i32) f32 {
  if i == 0 { return v.x }
  return v.y
}

Call operator​

struct Adder { base: i32 }

func ()(a: Adder, x: i32) i32 {
  return a.base + x
}

var add5 = Adder { base: 5 }
add5(3) // 8

Collections​

Dynamic arrays​

var xs: [..]i32       // heap backed, grows on demand
array_add(&xs, 42)
remove xs[i]          // unordered O(1) swap remove
