Turnturnv0.5.0-alpha
v0.5.0-alpha

A systems language
for agentic computation.

Turn gives you Erlang-style actors, stochastic inference, and durable memory as first-class bytecode primitives. There are no frameworks and no API wrappers — just the fundamental physics of agentic software.

01 / install

Get Turn on your machine.

Turn ships as a single static binary with no runtime dependencies. It is currently available for macOS, Linux, and Windows.

shell
curl -fsSL https://turn-lang.dev/install.sh | bash

This shell script downloads the pre-compiled turn binary to ~/.turn/bin and automatically appends it to your terminal's $PATH.

Once installed, you can verify your installation:

turn --version
# turn v0.5.0-alpha

02 / sandbox

Try it in the browser.

Turn compiles the Wasm inference driver directly into your browser tab. You can write Turn programs below and execute them locally — the only network requests made are your direct calls to the LLM API.

hello.tn

Examples marked use the infer primitive — configure your preferred LLM provider above to run them.
