Programming language & backend platform

Zornux

A programming language and backend development platform designed to make server-side software productive, readable, and secure.

Available Read the docs Downloads GitHub

Zornux is a programming language and backend development platform. The language reads like English — no semicolons or curly braces — while remaining strict and deterministic. The platform layers web services, data access, authorization, and observability on top, so a single toolchain takes you from a one-line script to a production API.

Readable by design

Code expresses intent in plain statements, so it stays approachable without sacrificing rigor.

Secure by default

Untrusted input is isolated by type and authorization is declarative — safety is a language feature.

Strict & deterministic

A real grammar and type system sit behind the friendly surface; simplicity never costs correctness.

Batteries included

Web services, a data layer, testing, packaging, and a debugger ship together — no framework churn.

Zornux reads like a description of what the program does:

function calculate_tax with price
    create tax = price * 0.1
    give back tax
end

create cart as ["book", "pen", "lamp"]
for each item in cart
    show "Bought " + item
end
