ScarScript brings approachable, Express-like syntax together with static checking and Go's compiler toolchain.

ScarScript is an open-source, statically typed programming language developed by Team Scarfaze under the leadership of Zawiyar Awan. It is Pakistan's first high-performance compiled programming language, designed to bring developer-friendly syntax to native performance.
Its syntax centers on familiar constructs such as func, val, mut, and a flexible for statement — inspired by the readability of Express.js and JavaScript, but with the safety of static typing.
It is not an interpreter or virtual machine: ScarScript checks source code, generates Go, and uses Go tooling to run programs or build native executables. The result is a language that reads simply but performs like a systems language.
The project is under active development. Language behavior and release assets can change, so use the docs and release notes that match your installed compiler.
Go-powered
Generated Go code connects ScarScript to an established native toolchain.
Open development
Source, releases, issues, and contributions are available on GitHub.
About Scarfaze
Scarfaze is a Pakistan-based technology company founded by Zawiyar Awan, focused on building developer tools, programming languages, and open-source infrastructure. ScarScript is our flagship project — a testament to what's possible when modern language design meets the power of the Go ecosystem.
We believe Pakistan can be a global hub for programming language innovation. ScarScript is our first step toward that vision.
