⚠️
Important Notice: This project was created using "vibe coding"β€”an experimental AI-dependent approach where software is generated by describing problems to AI in natural language. This method prioritizes rapid prototyping over code quality and may result in unreviewed, untested code that doesn't follow best practices. The Asthra language and this website are experimental and should not be used for production or sensitive applications. Learn more about vibe coding.

Build with AI

A modern programming language designed for AI code generation efficiency and safe C interoperability.

example.asthra
package main;

// Simple struct definition
pub struct Point {
    pub x: f64,
    pub y: f64,
}

// Function with error handling
pub fn distance(p1: Point, p2: Point) -> f64 {
    let dx: f64 = p1.x - p2.x;
    let dy: f64 = p1.y - p2.y;
    return (dx * dx + dy * dy).sqrt();
}

// Main function
pub fn main() -> Result<i32, string> {
    let origin: Point = Point { x: 0.0, y: 0.0 };
    let point: Point = Point { x: 3.0, y: 4.0 };
    
    let dist: f64 = distance(origin, point);
    return Result.Ok(0);
}

About "Vibe Coding"

This project was created using "vibe coding"β€”a term coined by Andrej Karpathy describing an AI-dependent, improvisational approach to software development. In vibe coding, software is produced by describing problems in natural language to a large language model (LLM), often embracing the AI's suggestions without thorough review or understanding of the generated code.

Key Characteristics & Risks:

  • Rapid Prototyping: Prioritizes speed over code quality
  • Minimal Review: Code may not be thoroughly tested or understood
  • Best Practices: May not follow established coding standards
  • Security Concerns: Potential vulnerabilities from unreviewed code
  • Maintainability: Codebase may be difficult to maintain long-term

When Vibe Coding is Appropriate:

  • Low-stakes experimental projects
  • Personal learning and exploration
  • Rapid prototyping and proof-of-concepts
  • Creative coding and artistic projects

Disclaimer: This approach is distinct from responsible AI-assisted programming, where code is carefully reviewed, tested, and understood before use. Use vibe coding with caution and never for production or sensitive applications.
