What is ScarScript?
ScarScript is a statically-typed, compiled language that transpiles to Go and produces native binaries. It combines Express.js-style syntax with compile-time safety.
func fib(n: int) int {
if n < 2 { return n }
return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
}
for i in 0..10 {
print("fib({i}) = {fib(i)}")
