Odin is an imperative, general-purpose, compiled and statically typed system programming language.[6] It is designed as an alternative to the C programming language[7][8]. It has features such as compile-time parametric polymorphism, array programming, and runtime reflection.[9][10][11]
The language comes with bindings for several libraries and graphics APIs such as OpenGL, DirectX, SDL and Vulkan.[12][13]
History
Work started on the language in July 2016[14]. Designer Bill Hall decided to make a language that could replace his needs for C and C++.[15] Since then, the language has been developed as open source on GitHub.[16]. It was considered sufficiently widely used to be added to GitHub's Linguist in July 2020[17].
Notable software built with Odin
- EmberGen, a real-time volumetric fluid simulator by JangaFX[18][19][20]
