Zerolang is an experimental programming language where a semantic graph serves as the program database, designed so AI agents author code via checked graph patches rather than raw text. It ships a compiler CLI (zero) with query, patch, check, test, and run commands, plus human-readable .0 projections for review.

Use cases

  • have an AI agent write and verify code through a compiler-checked graph
  • build programs by asking an agent for outcomes instead of editing source text
  • review agent-written code as readable projections
  • prevent stale or invalid edits with graph-hash-guarded patches
  • experiment with graph-native programming languages

When to choose

  • you want an agent-first coding workflow with the compiler validating every edit
  • you are experimenting with graph-based program representations
  • you need semantic, structure-targeted edits instead of line-based diffs

When to avoid

  • you need a stable, production-ready language for real projects
  • you prefer traditional text-based source editing workflows
  • you cannot run experimental software in isolated environments
