WebAssembly targeted programming language

Sapphire

Experimental WebAssembly targeted programming language

Sapphire parser is fully independent of the WASM compiler, allowing new compilation targets in the future

Hello World

Sapphire strings are encoded into the WebAssembly Memory meanwhile Js console.log expects a Js string. In order to print "Hello World!", Sapphire must convert it string into a reference.

ensured def console
  log(ref): void;
end

export def main()
  console.log("Hello World!":str_ref)
end

Instead of loading the console.log function, a newer introduction is the kernel.echo function

export def main()
  "Hello World!":str_ref:echo
end
