Norm

Norm is a statically typed, application-oriented programming language with familiar syntax and explicit semantics.

Use class for identity, value for data, enum for alternatives, interface for capabilities, and ref for controlled aliasing. Explore the language tour through executable examples.

main() {
  printLine("Hello, Norm")
}

Start here

• Learn the language: follow the learning path.
• Get the tools: download the CLI and matching VS Code extension from releases. See the distribution guide for source builds.
• Build an application: use examples and discover packages through the registry.

Active development. Check the current status and version index for delivered capabilities and implementation boundaries.

Norm ecosystem

These repositories are the canonical entry points around the language:

Entry point	Purpose
Awesome Norm	Applications and high-level libraries built with Norm
Norm Skill	Reference-driven guidance for coding agents
Examples	Integration acceptance and runnable application fixtures
Package Standards	Maintenance and delivery requirements for packages
Registry	Module ownership, immutable releases, and shared package automation

Work on Norm

This repository contains the language specification, compiler and CLI, standard library, VS Code extension, documentation, and tests. Application examples and ecosystem acceptance live in examples; adapter packages are maintained independently in the Norm organization.

Source	Entry point
Compiler, runtime, and CLI	cli/compiler
Editor extension	cli/extensions/vscode
Standard library	norm/stdlib
Executable language tests	norm/tests
