Slate

A new programming language made by me. Used as a tool to learn about compilers.

Note: some code snippets and examples may only work on x64 Linux since that's what I have.

Built With

• Golang 1.14
• LLVM 12
• https://github.com/llir/llvm
• https://github.com/nektro/go-util

Usage

Running ./start_local.sh will build and run Slate on the x64 Linux Hello World. Feel free to edit either file.

go build
./slate -run {path/to/src_file.slate}
llvm-as-12 out.ll
lli-12 out.bc

More code examples can be found in the ./tests/ directory.

Contributing

Issues welcome. As the project progresses I will make a list of focus areas.

In regards to pull requests, I appreciate the enthusiasm but at this stage I will be more hesitant than normal about what gets merged from other people. This project is largely an experiment and learning environment for me, so please keep that in mind.
