Types

As of v0.10.0, Embr is dynamically typed.

However, we're planning to shift toward static typing in the near future.

Function return types are annotated with a @ after the parameters of a function are declared, like so: fn my_func(x, y) @int {};.

Every function has a return type. Note that despite this, specifying the return type for a function is completely optional as they are also implicitly determined. Because of this, valid Embr functions can also look like: fn my_func(x, y) {};.

Type	Keyword	Usage
Void	@void	A special return type for functions that don't return anything.
Integer	@int	Regular integers, such as 420, 69, or 8675309
Boolean	@bool	Boolean values: true or false.
String	@str	Strings of text, encapsulated in double-quotations, such as "Hello, Embr!" or "Zaphod Beeblebrox".
