This is Skev

Entities, blocks, and game-native types — built into the language.

Game-Native by Design

Vector3! Color! Transform! are language primitives. entity and when are keywords. No engine required.

Safe by Default

ARC memory — no GC pauses, no manual free. maybe T eliminates null crashes. result[T] enforces error handling at compile time.

Readable at Scale

>> opens a block. << closes it with a label. At 500 lines you always know where you are. Never lost in braces again.
