Koru renames event keyword to tor
Koru, an AI-focused systems programming language, has officially renamed its primary keyword from event to tor to eliminate implicit runtime overhead. Declarations like tor greet (greetor) and tor create (creator) leverage Sanskrit etymology and agent-suffix semantics to clarify control flow.
Renaming a fundamental keyword mid-development is a bold syntax move, but shedding the heavy baggage of "event" helps Koru clearly differentiate its execution paradigm.
- –Keyword syntax now directly maps to agentic handler declarations (e.g., `tor greet` defines a greetor).
- –Removes misleading connotations of heavy event loops and async overhead.
- –Leverages Sanskrit roots and agent-suffix naming to reframe low-level control flow.
