Helix has a modular architecture. Each module is a self-contained unit that registers itself with the interpreter at compile time.

​
How Modules Work

  1. Import the module in your .hx script
  2. Call its functions with module.function(args)
  3. Some modules return native objects with their own methods
import math
result = math.sqrt(144)
print(result)

​

Each module is behind a feature flag. Compile only what you need: 
# All modules (default)
cargo build --release

# Only specific modules
cargo build --release --no-default-features --features mod_math,mod_json,mod_os
