zom-lang / rfcs

This maintains proposals through the RFC process for changes to Zom.

Zom

Zom is a fast and secure programming language

rfcs's Issues

Improve RFC-0001

I think i merged too quickly the RFC-0001, here are some improvements to be made :

• It's specified that Zom uses, by default the C calling convention but it could be false in later version, so delete this part is a good idea.
• In function declaration; it's said that the string literal after the extern keyword is the calling convention but it's actually the ABI used.
• Add function definition while specifying the ABI used like that :

extern "C" func foo_bar(foo: c_int, bar: c_int) c_int {
    // ...
}

• In the Deep dive explenation section, explain that a function definition with Zom ABI is just a function definition :

extern "Zom" func foo_bar() void {

}

// is equal to

func foo_bar() void {

}

• remove in deep dive section the part where we talk about the name mangling, it will be covered in another RFC.

RFC process temporary stop

Why ??

The RFC process is a great idea inspired by the Rust RFC process. It allows to make Zom more formal and will be used to make a specification for the Zom Programming Language. But it takes a lot of my time,

The RFC repo will be maintained.

Merged RFC with a tracking issue will be implemented according to the RFC process.

RFC todo

When RFC process will restart

• finish writing #5
• finish writing #6

When the RFC process will restart ?

When the v1.0.0 of the compiler will be released. It will restart to stabilize Zom.
