WARNING! THIS LANGUAGE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS! ANYTHING CAN CHANGE AT ANY MOMENT WITHOUT ANY NOTICE! USE THIS LANGUAGE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

This language specializes in combining a high-level syntax and a low-level compilation. We compile to LLVM IR (Intermediate Representation) and LLVM compiles to a native executable.

Plans

• Compiled
• Native
• Complete Syntax
• Feature-Rich default library
• Self-hosted
• Optimized
