Learn Axon
Axon is a small language with a big surface area — a compiler, a standard library, a package manager, web and UI frameworks, and debug tooling. Learn organizes the existing documentation into four guided tracks so you can go from “never seen an S-expression” to “shipping with the ecosystem” along the path that fits you.
Each track is an ordered reading path. Lessons are tagged by skill level (Intro Intermediate Advanced) so you know what you’re getting into. Start at step 1 and work down, or jump to the level you need.
For AI Agents
Why Axon’s homoiconic S-expression syntax is the most reliable target for LLM code generation — and how to generate it well.
Start the track →For Language Designers
A deep walk through Axon’s design: the S-expression rationale, the compiler pipeline, the memory model, and the actor concurrency system.
Start the track →For Backend Engineers
A practical path from install to a running service: the CLI, the standard library, the web framework, the package manager, and debug tooling.
Start the track →For AI/ML Engineers
Deterministic memory, zero-cost FFI, and lock-free actors — the building blocks that make Axon a strong fit for inference pipelines.
Start the track →How the tracks fit together
Section titled “How the tracks fit together”The four tracks overlap intentionally — they curate the same trusted docs in different orders for different goals. If a lesson looks familiar, it’s because a sibling track uses it too; follow the one that matches how you plan to use Axon.
- New to the language entirely? Start with For AI Agents or For Backend Engineers — both open with the quick start and the interactive tour.
- Evaluating Axon against what you already use? Every track links out to the relevant language comparison for your background.
- Want the full picture? For Language Designers is the most thorough read-through of the “why”.
