[h1]Slang: High-Level Programming for Stationeers[/h1] [h1]Slang: High-Level Programming for Stationeers[/h1]
Stop writing assembly. Start writing code. Stop writing assembly. Start writing code.
Slang (Stationeers Language) brings modern programming to Stationeers. It allows you to write scripts using a familiar C-style syntax (variables, functions, if/else, loops) directly in the in-game editor. When you hit confirm, Slang compiles your code into optimized IC10 MIPS assembly instantly. Slang (Stationeers Language) brings modern programming to Stationeers.

A: The Slang compiler is built in Rust for performance and reliability. It is compiled as a native library and bundled with the mod. It must be extracted temporarily to function within the game's C# environment. A: The Slang compiler is built in Rust for performance and reliability.
