SE 0.6.0

SE 0.6.0 is the first SE release designed for quick public installation with prebuilt packages. Normal users can download SE and immediately use se run, se check, se test, the REPL, modules and the interpreter without installing CMake, Git or a C++ compiler.

Quick install

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/funlearnstudio/SE/main/install.sh | sh

Windows PowerShell:

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/funlearnstudio/SE/main/install.ps1 | iex

GitHub Releases also provides downloadable archives for macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel, Linux x64 and Windows x64.

Language and runtime

  • Low-punctuation SE syntax with indentation-based blocks.
  • Static checking and type inference.
  • Functions, lexical closures and simplified function helpers.
  • User-defined types, fields and methods.
  • Generic functions.
  • Value-based match / case.
  • List, Map and Set collections.
  • filter, map, reduce, slicing and sorting helpers.
  • Option and Result helpers.
  • Managed Task-style async / await.
  • File, path, time, math, random and OS support.
  • JSON, HTTP, web routing, process execution and lightweight persistent DB APIs.
  • HTTPS client support through system curl.
  • C ABI native interoperability and binding generation.

Core conversions

SE 0.6.0 includes beginner-friendly conversion names:

int "123"
integer "123"
num "3.14"
double "3.14"
float "3.14"
text 123
string 123
bool "true"
boolean "false"
char "A"
char 65

The canonical SE runtime types remain Int, Num, Text and Bool; familiar names such as string, double and float are conversion aliases rather than duplicate runtime types. char currently produces one-character Unicode Text.

Distribution

The release pipeline builds and verifies precompiled SE packages on supported GitHub-hosted platforms and publishes SHA-256 checksums with the release assets.

A prebuilt SE installation does not require CMake or a C++ compiler for normal interpreted workflows such as:

se run file.se
se check file.se
se check-all .
se test .

se build is different: it currently emits C++20 and invokes a system C++ compiler to produce a native executable, so native compilation still requires a C++20 compiler. This limitation is intentionally documented rather than hidden.
