Language Basics
Variables
In Kiwi, variables are immutable by default.
Syntax
#![allow(unused)] fn main() { // Since Kiwi is new, we use 'rust' highlighting // as a placeholder until we add custom highlighting let name = "Kiwi"; let count = 10; }
To make a variable mutable, use mut:
#![allow(unused)] fn main() { let mut x = 5; x = 6; }
