whack

  • A simply-designed compiled programming language.
  • Can call C functions without ceremony.
  • Suitable for learning some compiler construction basics.
  • Also suitable as a base for further development.
  • Also suitable for use as-is.
  • Whack currently lacks a comprehensively designed type system.
  • important Progressively designed/implemented. Some constructs may seem whack.
  • No tests (pull requests welcome (follow clang's test style)).
  • Currently supporting Windows (I'm on Windows).
  • To view current progress, run whack.exe in snapshot folder.

Progress

Pre-Alpha. This repository is a dump of what is currently on my Sublime Text.

Non-Goals

  • Industrial-strength compiler for our Stage 1/State 2 compiler.

TODO

  • Stage 1 compiler: Compile whack code using using C++ code): ( Current progress ).
  • Stage 2 compiler: Use our Stage 1 compiler to compile the Whack compiler in whack .
  • Stage 3 compiler: Use our State 2 compiler to make a self-hosted Whack compiler.
  • Standard Library.

Requirements

  • Facebook.Folly (Release folly-2018.08.20.00).
  • spdlog (Release spdlog-1.1.0).
  • gcc must be available on your PATH (MinGW GCC is available at Nuwen.net ).
  • LLVM (To be provided as a DLL in snapshot folder). For now, download/compile LLVM 6.0.1 DLL.
