About the JARU Programming Language

What is JARU?​

JARU is a general-purpose programming language that focuses on code simplicity and readability. It's an object-oriented language with dynamic types that runs on a fast and compact virtual machine.

It's designed to run on devices with limited resources, such as the ESP32 or the ESP32-P4 (RISC-V). Its virtual machine is specially optimized to occupy little memory space and execute quickly and efficiently, making it particularly suitable for IoT development.

Main Features​

  • Dynamic data types: JARU doesn't require specifying the data type of a variable before assigning a value.
  • Clean and direct syntax: Easy to learn and understand.
  • Built-in Garbage Collector: Forget about manually freeing memory.
  • High customization: Wide variety of options and tools.
  • Productivity: Allows writing code quickly and efficiently.
  • Flexibility: Easily adapts to different projects and environments.
