about.

zo (PRONOUNCED /zuː/) iS A COMPiLER OF A COMPiLER iNSiDE ANOTHER GiANT COMPiLER THAT iS iTSELF iNSiDE A GiGANTiC COMPiLER.

THE AiM OF THE PROJECT iS TO ENHANCE THE DEVELOPER EXPERiENCE, MAKiNG iT SEAMLESS TO BUiLD SOFTWARE THAT REFLECTS YOUR CREATiViTY. WE FOCUS ON DETAiLS THAT MATTER, OPENiNG NEW DiMENSiONS iN THE SOFTWARE UNiVERSE SPACE WHERE TRANSFORMiNG YOUR THOUGHTS iNTO PROGRAMS iS NOT JUST EASY, BUT ENJOYABLE.

zo iS A COMPLETE ECOSYSTEM THAT ONLY GiVES YOU THE KEYS. YOU FiNALLY HAVE CONTROL OVER YOUR WORKSTATiON. YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO WORK BLiND AGAiN. OUR TOOLS ARE DESiGNED TO PROViDE YOU WiTH ALL THE iNFORMATiON YOU NEED FOR YOUR PROGRAM, FROM DESiGN TO DELiVERY.

OUR GOAL iS TO CREATE HiGH-PERFORMANCE, NEXT-GENERATiON SOFTWARE BY REDEFiNiNG USER iNTERFACES. OUR AiM iS NOT TO CREATE MERE TOOLS, BUT TO BE THE MAiN PLAYER iN THE DEVELOPER TOOLS OF TOMORROW ON A GLOBAL SCALE. WE ARE AGAiNST ABUNDANT SOFTWARE UNiFORMiTY. zo UNiFiES THE WEB AND THE GPU NOT BY FORCiNG THE WEB iNTO A CANVAS, BUT BY HARMONiZiNG FLEXBOX LAYOUTS WiTH RAW GPU POWER, WHiCH iS WHY WE WiLL DO EVERYTHiNG WE CAN TO PUSH THE BOUNDARiES OF iNNOVATiON TO THE LiMiT.
