RimStone: a new programming language

PHOENIX - Nov. 5, 2025 - PRLog -- RimStone is a new programming language and framework that aims for a direct approach to software development. Its goal is to reduce over-abstraction in programming and bring down the cost of web, cloud, database, middleware, distributed and general purpose computing.

RimStone is a high-performance language, which is distributed in a source-code only format, because it uses LTO (Link Time Optimization) to optimize user's application together with underlying RimStone libraries as if they were written in a single C source program, resulting in overall higher performance.

The philosophy behind RimStone is one of functional and declarative nature, with emphasis on memory safety.

RimStone is licensed under Apache 2 Free Open Source License. The official web site offers quick installation from source code into a local user folder without requiring sudo privileges, making it a safer choice in general. RimStone is well-documented with lots of examples and articles that can jump-start projects.

RimStone official web site is at https://rimstone-lang.com. Read more about why RimStone is different at https://rimstone-lang.com/article-language.html - here's an excerpt from it that highlights an important goal: "One more benefit is that you may not need AI to summarize what the program does. If a single statement can convey a high-level intent, then you can read a program in such language more as a story of the solution than an algorithm.".
