Data Types

DryLang supports standard primitive types natively.

Number

All numbers (integers and floats) are treated as a unified Number type (float64 under the hood).

count = 10
price = 99.99

String

Strings are enclosed in double quotes. String interpolation is supported with ${}.

name = "Zaky"
greeting = "Hello, ${name}!"

Raw strings use backticks:

raw = `no escapes here \n`

Boolean

Use t for true and f for false. Note: t and f are strictly reserved boolean literals. You cannot use them as variable names, which eliminates common collisions with math or time variables.

isActive = t
isDone = f

Unknown (The 3rd State)

The unknown keyword replaces null and undefined. It is a fundamental 3rd boolean state that evaluates to falsy in conditionals.

data = unknown
fallback = data ?? "default value"
