std/prelude

Unless compilation uses -noprelude, Zap imports std/prelude automatically. You can use its names without writing an import.

Available names

Area	Names
Core strings	StringView, len, at, slice, eq, view, startsWith, indexOf
Output	print, println, eprintln
String helpers	stringLen, fromChar, pushChar, trim, splitOnce, SplitPair
Conversion	toString, toInt, toBool, parseInt, ParseIntError
Collections	List, HashMap
String collections	split, splitN, splitTrimmed, join

fun main() Int {
    var names = new List<String>();
    names.push("Ada");
    names.push("Grace");

    println("Count: " + toString(names.len()));
    return 0;
}

The prelude is deliberately smaller than the complete standard library. Import modules such as std/fs, std/path, or std/math when their APIs are needed.
