Meth is a tiny programming language written in Crystal using LLVM for learning purpose.
I intend to continue this language, but not alone, so if you are interested and want to continue it with me, contact me.
extern fun puts(value: char*): i64
fun main(): i32
puts("Hello, world")
return 0
end
- They are in order of priority
- Functions
- Extern Functions
- Function Calls
- Variables
- Conditionals
- Loops
- Argc Argv
- Structs
- Standard Library
Well, if you take a look at the language, you noticed that the types are almost the same as in C language
We have pointers, and uses char* for strings
Maybe you're curious, why didn't I make a String type? an Array Type?
When the language evolves, when I add structs, and create the standard library, it will have types like Array and String
I want to avoid having to create things in the compiler as much as possible so as not to make future rewriting difficult.
If you stop to think, if I created an Array or String type, every compiler or interpreter created by anyone would have to implement them, but if I write these types in the language itself, and implement only low-level things in the compiler/interpreter, it is easier.
