KSF

Kairo Software Foundation

A nonprofit dedicated to the development and sustainability of the Kairo programming language ecosystem.

Note: The Kairo Software Foundation (formerly Helix Software Foundation) is in the process of registering as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Our Mission

The KSF funds core language development, documentation, community events, and contributor grants. We believe in an open, transparent, community-driven approach to language development.

Kairo should be a language that serves its users — not a corporate product, not a research toy. Every decision is made with the community in mind, through open RFCs and public discussion.
