Examples

Read a few real Kira samples before you dive into a project.

These examples are short on purpose. They make it easy to understand the style and the kind of code you will write day to day.

@main
function main() {
    print("Hello from Kira")
    return
}

This is the shortest useful mental model: an entry point, one function body, and a print statement. If this reads comfortably, you already understand the tone of the language.

@Main
function main() {
    print("Launching Sokol triangle (pure Kira)...")
    sapp_run(desc: sapp_desc(
        init_cb: on_init,
        frame_cb: on_frame,
        cleanup_cb: on_cleanup,
        width: 800,
        height: 600))
}

The Sokol sample matters because it proves the syntax still holds up when the program stops being tiny. You still read function calls, named arguments, and setup code in a linear way without a huge jump in complexity.
