Scripts

There is no implicit main function in mimas. Unlike Rust, a script just runs top to bottom – write whatever code you like at the file’s root and execute it directly, the way you would with Python or JavaScript.

// hello.mim
print("Hello, world!"); // runs the moment you execute the file

mimas run hello.mim

Top-level statements run in order, and top-level fns, structs, and similar declarations are available throughout the file regardless of where they’re declared.

print(greet("world"));      // works -- `greet` is visible across the whole file

fn greet(name: str) -> str {
    f"hello, {name}!"
}
