# Skir Declarative language for types & APIs. Source: [Console review]() Website: [https://skir.build/]() Profile updated: 2026-10-16 Category: [Programming languages]() ## Supported tech stack Research checked: 2026-10-11 ### Integrates with - Elixir (Language) - Go (Language) - Java (Language) - Kotlin (Language) - Python (Language) - Rust (Language) - Swift (Language) - TypeScript (Language) - Zig (Language) Source: [Research source]() Documented compatibility; coverage may be incomplete. Written in describes implementation, not user-project language support. Schema compiler generates TypeScript, Python, Java, Kotlin, Rust, Go, Swift and Zig; Elixir generator is community-maintained. ## Console’s review — 2026-04-09 Reviewed: 2026-04-09 Author: [David Mytton]() Citation: [This review]() ### What we like Define the schema then generate idiomatic, type-safe code (Python, Go, Java, Rust, TS, etc). Dynamic serialization options e.g. binary or JSON. VS Code extension & LSP tooling. Supports backwards compatibility when changing schemas. ### Tradeoffs Compile-time errors if you add a field, but don’t regenerate the code - this is the opposite to protobuf which handles it by defaulting values. This may be better, depending on your philosophy. This review reflects Console’s assessment at publication on 2026-04-09.

Summary updated: 2026-10-16 ### Who it’s for Developers working with multiple programming languages should consider Skir ### Why consider it Skir allows generating type-safe code from a schema definition ### Keep in mind Skir requires regenerating code after schema changes to avoid compile-time errors [Selection criteria]() · [About Console]() · [Browse tools]()
