Variables and values

Kirn supports inferred values and explicit type annotations. Bindings are immutable by default; use the language's mutable-binding forms only when the program needs them.

count: Int = 3;
ratio: Float = 0.5;
label: Str = "ready";
enabled: Bool = true;

Literal values include numbers, strings, booleans, characters, lists, dictionaries, and sets. The canonical primitive names are capitalized:

age = 25;
title = "A small program";
scores = [10, 20, 30];

Use the Types reference for the current primitive and container families.
