About Lyric

Lyric is designed to make programming feel intuitive again — a balance of simplicity, structure, and flow.

Our Mission

To provide an alternative syntax to Python that retains its core power while introducing clearer structure, static typing, and a design that feels natural to write.

Why "Lyric"?

Lyric is a general-purpose programming language and a lean alternative to the standard Python interpreter.

Lyric offers a C++/Python hybrid-style syntax focused on clarity, structure, and flow — making it suitable for scripting, prototyping, and application development where both readability and performance matter.

The Team

MiraNova Studios

• Michael (Aeonath): Design and AI Orchestration
• ChatGPT: Contributes to language design and architecture
• Claude: Performs the primary implementation and unit test development

Core Capabilities

• Performance: Intended to achieve performance comparable to or even surpassing equivalent native Python programs.
• Integration: Provides seamless access to Python’s full standard library and ecosystem through the importpy statement.
• Portability: Runs anywhere a Python interpreter is available — no special environment or runtime installation required.
• Type System: Lyric uses a strict static typing system with built-in type inference — meaning variables declared with var automatically take on a fixed type based on their initial value, without requiring explicit type annotations.
