Astro is a high-performance statically-typed programming language for the web (it compiles to WebAssembly), with Python-like syntax and technical-computing orientation similar to Julia.
Astro provides a sophisticated compiler with full type inference, compile-time garbage collection, and an extensive mathematical function library.
Astro's core foundation is built on a rich type system and multiple dispatch but it borrows a lot of useful concepts from other paradigms as well.
Astro has support for first-class functions, generics, object-oriented programming, unicode identifiers, and metaprogramming.
