WIP DOP Compiled Language, with a cool type system that supports completely optional typing (no need to type even the function arguments) and a dynamic system(avoided as much as possible, may be discarded)
covalent path/to/file # builds results in ./ and C code in /tmp/covalent
to enter the repl
covalent
designed for Linux for now you need gcc installed in path to compile(repl included for now)
You only need the covalent exe and libs folder (they should be located in the same folder) libs should contain runtime.o built from src/backend/c/std.c and gc.o, should be automatically built using cargo
you can compile gc.o from bdwgc (put it in libs folder)
- C backend
- if-else
- while loops
- variables, optional typing with @
id@type - functions, blueprints(some fancy stuff that generates a typed function from a copy of an untyped function on call), and externs
- function and blueprint call
func: argsargless_func! - built-in types: str, int, float, bool, List(T), Dynamic, Back(T) backend version of T, Const(T) C const pointers
- MemberExpr for fields (List(T).size for example), no implantation for member functions yet
- IndexExpr for indexing (List(T)[index] for example)
- SpecExpr for specifying generics (List(str) for example)
- poor error system
- operators: -, +, *, /, %, &&, ||, ==, >, <, <=, >=
test project in /TestProj, examples in /code(see test project for all features)
