void main => std::println("Hello, world!");

import <std/io>

void main {
    std::file foo = std::file("test.txt");
    defer ~foo;

    foo.open("w");
        std::fprintln(&foo, "Rave");
    foo.close();

    char[4] buffer;

    foo.open("r");
        foo.read(&buffer, 4);
    foo.close();

    std::println(buffer[0], buffer[1], buffer[2], buffer[3]);
}

import <std/io> <std/json>

void main {
    auto json = std::json::parse("{\"name\": \"Alex\"}");
    defer ~json;

    std::println(json.get("name").as<char*>());
}
