Safire language

Readable source for business applications.

Safire source is designed to describe business systems directly: applications, windows, controls, reports, tables, queries, procedures, classes, validation, build settings, and deployment metadata.

Language personality

Named blocks such as Application, Window, Table, Query, Report, Procedure, Function, Class, and Validation.
Property assignment with clear names and values.
Explicit End termination for source round-trip.
Short event handlers that delegate real business logic.
Typed data declarations for compiler, IDE, binding, reports, and AI analysis.

Small source example

Application CustomerManager
 Title = "Customer Manager"
 Version = "1.0.0"
 MainWindow = WIN_CustomerList
 DefaultDatabase = DB_Main
End

Procedure Main()
 OpenWindow(WIN_CustomerList)
End

Business source concepts

Safire is centered on application artifacts rather than isolated code snippets.

Windows and controls

Source-backed forms, controls, layout, data binding, validation and event handlers.

Tables and queries

Dictionary/table declarations, fields, keys, relationships and reusable query objects.

Reports

Report source, bands, fields, expressions, grouping, totals, preview, print and export.

Build and deploy

Check, build, run and package workflows with runtime components for end users.
