FAQ

Is X07 a general-purpose language?​

Yes—via OS worlds it targets general-purpose usage (CLI tools, servers, automation).

Fixture worlds exist to make testing and repair deterministic, not to limit real-world capability.

Why not just use Rust / Go / Python?​

You can. X07 exists because autonomous agents struggle with:

  • multiple equivalent patterns,
  • ambiguous diagnostics,
  • nondeterministic test environments,
  • text-based patching on fragile syntax.

X07 makes those constraints first-class.

Is X07 safe?​

In deterministic worlds, X07 is designed to be safe-by-construction. In OS worlds, safety depends on policies and host sandboxing.

Is X07 fast?​

X07 compiles to C and can call native shims for performance-critical workloads.

The main performance risk is agent-written O(n²) logic—so the ecosystem includes budgets, metrics, and canonical builders.
