# slang

> A statically typed language built primarily for server-side and network programming -- that is the focus, not a limit. Compiles to C. M:N green threads, a precise mark-sweep collector, and native packages. Built and maintained by Dolphlabs (Dolph Tech Limited), https://dolphlabs.com.

Every page on this site has a Markdown twin at the same path with a .md extension. /api.json is the machine-readable index of every package and function. /llms-full.txt is this entire site as one plain-text document.
