Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Yan is a statically typed compiled language with Rust-like borrowing, compile-time evaluation, and native or C output.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-01 issue.

For: Systems-language learners and compiler builders
Worth noticing: The page says the compiler compiles itself to a byte-for-byte fixed point; native output currently targets Windows x64.

Field notes

The page identifies the release as v0.11.0 and offers a single-file Windows x64 compiler with no runtime dependency. Its self-hosting claim is that the compiler compiles itself to a byte-for-byte fixed point. Native output currently targets Windows x64; for other platforms, the project emits C for a platform compiler, while some features remain available only through that backend.
