    Zimbu is an experimental programming language designed by Bram Moolenaar, the creator of the popular text editor Vim. It was released in November 2009.

    Examples

    The Hello World program, hello.zu:

    FUNC Main() int
      IO.print("Hello, World!")
      RETURN 0
    }
    

    Here is another example:

    FUNC Main() int
      VAR pipe = THREAD.eval({ => "Hello from the thread" })
      # Do something else
      IO.print(pipe.read())
    }
