What’s New in Aria - September 2025

Quite a few improvements this month, mostly focused on cleaning up the language and the stanadard library. Here’s what’s new in September.

Result type — Aria now has a Result type used to express success or failure of operations. Why it matters: no hidden exceptions, clearer control flow, easier composition with iterators and matches.
Object initializer syntax — Initializers are more concise and flexible.

Shorthand: .x desugars to .x = x when x is in scope. You can mix field and index writes in one initializer.

Download Aria today — In addition to the usual build from source model, it is now possible to download pre-built binaries for Linux and macOS from the release page. Refer to the release page for details and to download the latest prebuilt today.

If you want the latest and greatest, you can still clone the repo and build from source.
