The Beef Programming Language / News / May 8, 2025 / Programming Language
We first talked about the Beef Programming Language back in 2020 and it presented an exciting opportunity for game developers, offering high level language features of the C# programming language, but without the garbage collector that can be problematic for games. In addition to an open source programming language, it also has a complete IDE with standardized debugger.
Features of the Beef language include:
C/C++ interop with static and dynamic libs
Custom allocators
Batched allocations
Compile-time function evaluation
Compile-time code generation
Tagged unions
Generics
Tuples
Reflection

Lambdas
Valueless method references
Defer statements
SIMD support
