Primitive Types

Cion	Rust	Description
()	()	The empty (or void) type.
num	-	A real number type that is space optimized for bit-widths less than or equal to 64 bits but that can handle any bit-width.
bool	bool	The truth type.
(A,B,...)	(A,B,...)	The generic tuple type.
[T;N]	[T;N]	The fixed-size array type.
[T]	[T]	The unsized-array type.
fn(A,B,...) -> C	fn(A,B,...) -> C	Functions and closures.
&T	&T	Shared-Reference to T.
&mut T	&mut T	Mutable-Reference to T.
str	str	Unsized UTF-8 character sequence.

Example Code

Simple "Hello, World!" programm.

main := fn()
    println("Hello, World!")

Recursive maths faculty function.

faculty := fn(n: num) -> num
    match n
        | 0 => 1
        | _ => n * faculty_recursive(n - 1)

Struct and custom type definition.

struct Age(num)

struct Person
	name    : String
	age     : Age
	children: Vec<Person>
