Introduction

Helix is a simple, modular scripting language built in Rust. It uses .hx files and compiles only the modules you need.

Quick Start

The core language is tiny. Only basic constructs: variables, functions, if/else, for/while loops, return, wait, spawn.
Everything else is a module. Discord, HTTP, databases — all handled by self-contained modules.
Compile only what you need. Each module is behind a feature flag. Need only math and JSON? Your binary is ~900KB instead of ~5MB.
Auto async/multithreading. The runtime handles concurrency automatically via Tokio.

# Run a Helix script
helix script.hx

# Run with verbose error output
helix -v script.hx

Example script (hello.hx):

name = "World"
print("Hello, {name}!")
