Project Verona is an experimental research programming language developed by Microsoft.[3][2]
The project is being supported by C# project manager Mads Torgensen[4] and Microsoft Research Cambridge research software engineer Juliana Franco.[5] Project Verona is also being aided by academics at Imperial College London.[2] Unlike in Rust where the ownership model is based on a single object, it is based on groups of objects in Verona.[5]
According to Microsoft, the goal of the project is to create a safer platform for memory management.[3]
Project Verona is open source released under MIT License and is under active development on GitHub.[6]
Example
[edit]while_sum(x: List[U32]) : U32 { var sum: U32 = 0; let iter = x.values(); while { iter.has_value() } { // This has to be `a`, same as in the for loop above let a = iter(); // Increments the iterator next iter; // This is the body of the for loop sum = sum + a } sum }
