A few weeks back I shared some early Zen code examples. Since then, a lot has changed. We're now at v1.1.1 and the language actually has real tooling.
What's new:
Full CLI with package management
zen publish- publish packages directly from CLI
zen install- install packages from the registry
zen list- browse all published packages with pagination
Language improvements
- Struct support with literals and returns
- Regex with POSIX ERE (
matchRegex) - File I/O with binary support
- FFI bindings to C functions
- 162 stdlib functions across math, strings, fs, os, http, crypto, path utilities
Package Registry (v1.0.0)
- JWT-based authentication
- GitHub-hosted packages
- Support for both runnable apps and libraries
- Semantic versioning
The reactive variables concept from the first post is still there (that was my favorite feature), and now you can actually write real programs and share them with the community.

Next up: HTTP server APIs, better imports, and whatever the community asks for.
