Welcome to Axel: a purely functional, extensible, and powerful functional programming language!

Axel is in alpha (see the welcome blog post), so the language and documentation might change at any time.

NOTE Whenever you see a link to one of Axel's GitHub Issues, that means you can help shape the future of Axel! We'd love it if you'd chime in to the conversation and give your feedback.

If you're coming from Haskell and would like a tutorial, start at Introduction to Macros!

For a more thorough introduction, start at Syntax Reference (and Haskell → Axel Quickstart). See the tl;dr for the quickstart guide, and then move on to Introduction to Macros for a tutorial on Axel's metaprogramming capabilities.
