# Kestrel
> Kestrel is a statically typed, expression-oriented systems language with Swift-like syntax, copy-by-default value semantics, explicit ownership modes, RAII, protocol-constrained monomorphized generics, and pattern matching.

Language guide plus the full API reference for the Kestrel standard library and every published Flock package. The full text of all docs is at llms-full.txt.
