Odin Principles
Simplicity
Designed for readability, scalability, and orthogonality of concepts. Clear is better than clever.

For Modern Systems
Built-in support for SOA data types, array programming, and features designed for today's hardware.
Joy of Programming
Programming should be enjoyable. Odin is designed so that writing systems code feels good again.
