EZ Language Tutorial

Welcome to EZ! This tutorial will guide you through writing your first programs.

1. Hello World

Create a file named hello.ez and add:

out "Hello, World!"

Run it: ./ez hello.ez

2. Variables & Logic

Declared implicitly by assignment.

name = "User"
age = 20

when age >= 18 {
    out name + " is an adult."
} other {
    out name + " is a minor."
}

3. Tasks (Functions)

Defined with task. Use give to return values.

task greet(name) {
    give "Hello " + name
}

out greet("Alice")

4. Loops

Use repeat for counting.

repeat i = 1 to 3 {
    out "Count: " + str(i)
}

5. Working with Data

Arrays and Dictionaries are first-class citizens.

todos = ["Code", "Sleep"]
push(todos, "Eat")

get item in todos {
    out "- " + item
}

6. Asynchronous Tasks

Run heavy operations without blocking.

task difficultMath() {
    stop(1000) # Simulating work
    give 42
}

out "Starting..."
future = spawn(difficultMath)
out "Working..."
result = await(future)
out "Result: " + str(result)
