Project Verona is an experimental research programming language developed by Microsoft.[3][2]
| Paradigm | Safe infrastructure programming |
|---|---|
| Family | Rust-like |
| Designed by | Microsoft Research, Imperial College London |
| First appeared | 2019 |
| Platform | Cross-platform |
| OS | Linux, Windows, Darwin |
| License | MIT License |
| Filename extensions | .verona[1] |

| Rust, Cyclone, Pony[2] | |
The project is being supported by C# project manager Mads Torgensen[4] and Microsoft Research Cambridge research software engineer Juliana Franco.[5] Project Verona is also being aided by academics at Imperial College London.[2] Unlike in Rust where the ownership model is based on a single object, it is based on groups of objects in Verona.[5]
According to Microsoft, the goal of the project is to create a safer platform for memory management.[3]
Project Verona is open source released under MIT License and is under active development on GitHub.[6]
Example
editwhile_sum(x: List[U32]) : U32
{
var sum: U32 = 0;
let iter = x.values();
while { iter.has_value() }
{
// This has to be `a`, same as in the for loop above
let a = iter();
// Increments the iterator
next iter;
// This is the body of the for loop
sum = sum + a
}
sum
}
