Hey Product Hunt! 👋
We watched AI agents waste 76% of their tokens on boilerplate in Python/TypeScript. So we built KARN — a language designed specifically for agents.
Key features:
→ 76% fewer tokens than Python
→ Compiles to C, JS, HTML, Python from one source
→ No exceptions — deterministic error handling
→ Full ecosystem access (pip, npm, cargo, system libs)
91 tests passing. Open source under the MIT License.
Try it: pip install karn-lang
GitHub: https://github.com/karn-lang/karn

Built by the team at Eulogik & Evolucent AI. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen!

Who hunted KARN?
KARN was hunted by Gautam Kishore. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
