Getting started

Zen is a simple way to develop applications and services. It is designed with safety and maintainability in mind, providing a set of tools that help you write stable software with confidence.

Use cases

Zen can be used in a variety of scenarios, including:

• Embedded scripting – Zen can be easily integrated into existing ecosystems, providing a lightweight and safe scripting layer.
• Asynchronous data processing – Zen enables concurrent and parallel data processing across multiple stages while remaining simple to reason about.
• Auditable business logic – Zen is well suited for domains that require verification and compliance, such as financial systems, transaction processing, and regulatory workflows, where critical operations must be traceable and auditable.

Hello world

A Zen program starts execution in the main function, which serves as the program’s entry point. Output is produced using the println function.

main = {
    println("Hello, world!")
}

Activity

Modify the following program to print your name.

main = {
	println("René Descartes")
}
