// Hello from Arkos!
func main() {
    print("Simple. Powerful. Native.")
    print("Build something brighter.")
}

arkos build main.ark --release
./main
# Windows: .\main.exe

Simple. Powerful. Native.
Build something brighter.

ONE ECOSYSTEM · TWO LANGUAGES

Arkos builds it.
Chizl shapes it.

Arkos handles the application logic. Chizl gives native interfaces a small, declarative language of their own. Write .chzl, compile through Arkos, and ship a native executable.
