I speak only of myself since I do not wish to convince, I have no right to drag others into my river, I oblige no one to follow me and everybody practices his art in his own way.

Tristan Tzara, "Dada Manifesto 1918”

Dada is a thought experiment. What if we were making a language like Rust, but one that was meant to feel more like Java or JavaScript, and less like C++? One that didn't aspire to being used in kernels or tiny embedded devices and was willing to require a minimal runtime. What might that look like?

As of right now, Dada doesn't really exist, though we have some experimental prototypes. If you'd like to learn more...

• Visit dada-lang.org and read the tutorial -- this will give you an idea what we're shooting for.
• On the web, visit https://dada-lang.org/playground to see how things work today.
• On your own computer, clone this repository and do cargo dada run dada_tests/hello_world.dada (requires Rust and Cargo to be installed).
