## Architecture
The language is designed with a focus on maximum predictability, determinism, and performance of the native application layer on 'iced' (Rust).
### Sigil system
| Symbol | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `@` | Directive | Single symbol → instant dispatch |
| `$` | Varialbe | Distinguishes from item names and strings |
| `!rhei` | call Rhei | '!' does not occur in names; The body is transmitted as-is |
| `//` | Comment | Two-character check |
| `"…"` | String | An unambiguous beginning and end; escape via '\' |
| `#RRGGBB` | Color | Only in the value position; parsed for 7 bytes |
| `fs:/…` | FS-path | URI scheme; Recognized in 3 characters (f,s,:) |
| Capital letter | Element | Distinguishes from directives and keywords |
| `0-9 / -` | Integer | The first character uniquely indicates the numeric type |

The parser spends **zero time** determining the type of token. It doesn't need to symbolically compare strings like `if`, `let`, or `function`.
### 2. Separation of scopes '()' and '{}'
* Parentheses '(...)' contain **only** the properties of the element in the format 'key=value'.
* Curly braces '{...}' contain **only** child elements and directives.
- Parentheses '(...)' contain **only** the properties of the element in the format 'key=value'.
- Curly braces '{...}' contain **only** child elements and directives.
### 3. Native protocols
Instead of calling heavy functions like 'readFile("/path")' that require argument parsing in runtime, Glint uses built-in prefixes:
