Nal

Nal - Your daily programming language

Note: This repository is under heavy development. Do not use this in any serious project.

Goals

• Asynchronous without hassle
• Type safe without verbosity
• Structural typing FTW

// TODO:

Nal v0.4 should have:

• Simple function that accepts source code and execute it
• Web playground that can execute Nal code and show its output

Nal v0.4 should not have:

• Api stability
• Any syntactic sugar
• Static type checker
• User-friendly documentations

Components in Nal v0.4

• nal_ast: Abstract Syntax Tree structure for source code.
• nal_ir: Intermediate Representation as a desugared control flow semantics.
• nalc_parser: Parser that produces AST from source code.
• nalc_atoi: Convert ast to ir.
• nali: IR interpreter with dynamic type check.

Planned features

• Algebraic data types
• Type notation and static type checker with inference
• Compile to binary with LLVM
• Compile-time reflection
• Isomorphic metaprogramming
• Coroutine/Generator
• Fiber based goroutine-like runtime
• Async, lock-free IO with future API
• Safe Rust FFI
• Runtime code replacement
