The simplest programming languaje made with LLVM

The simples unfinished programming languaje you can find out there

About

This is the development of a 🔮 Kaleidoscope like languaje. It is the result of following the llvm tutorial on how to create a frontend programming languaje. This project is based on the 🐉 LLVM library commonly used for building compilers. Up to now the parser, lexer, AST, the code generation functions and the JIT drivers have been implemented.

Why discontinued? It is an really big work to maintain and continue adding new features to this project having limited time.

Feel free to PR this repo an add more stuff 🚀🚀 (only lit things accepted 😉)

Usage

⚙️ There is a make file.
📦 All you have to do is install the llvm tools and build the project with CMake.

Motivation

If you have ever seen any @codediodeio video you know how 🔥 epic 🔥 is to make stuff. After seen the LLVM video I decided I wanted to try myself and develop something similar. It is really challenging to work with the library that powers some modern compilers like clang, Rust compiler or Swift compiler. In order to make this jurney easier, I have followed the official tutorial on llvm.org
