Standard Library

Zena includes an expanding standard library. The goal is for the standard library to be fairly extensive, so that there are standard ways of performing common tasks without requiring third-party dependencies, and to give the Zena ecosystem common patterns, utilities, and data types to build upon.

WARNING

The standard library is in active development and is currently being reorganized. Module structure, naming, and APIs are experimental and subject to change.

See these GitHub issues for major upcoming changes:
