The AI-Native Systems Language.

FORGE is the world's first compiled language with AI as a native stdlib primitive. No imports. No pip. No boilerplate. Just ai_ask().

What's New in v0.4.0

🤖 AI stdlib syntax highlighting — ai_ask, ai_classify, ai_translate, ai_sentiment, ai_generate highlighted as builtins
📝 31 code snippets including 4 new AI workflow snippets
🔤 String builtins — str_upper, str_lower, str_trim, str_replace, str_split
🔢 Math builtins — math_pow, math_floor, math_sin, math_cos, math_random
⚙️ Env builtins — env_get, env_set
🆕 AI model + API key settings in VS Code settings

Quick Start

fn main() -> void {
    ai_set_key("your-deepseek-or-openai-key")

    // Ask AI anything — native compiled call
    let answer = ai_ask("What is quantum computing?", "")
    print(answer)

    // Classify text — zero-shot, no training
    let label = ai_classify("Win $1000!", "spam,important,newsletter")
    print(label)

    // String builtins
    let up = str_upper("hello forge")
    print(up)  // HELLO FORGE

    // Env vars
    let home = env_get("HOME")
    print(home)
}

Compile and run:

forge build main.forge -o app && ./app
