Compiler for the Junon language. Multi-platform and modern design. Currently only available for Linux

Example

This example shows the different things you can actually do with the current version.

fun main {
    let a: int = 1
    a = 2

    let b: int = { 3 + 4 }
    let c: int[5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

    ret
}

// Divides by 2 a number `a`
fun foo(a: int): int {
    ret { a / 2 }
}

Note

The compiler is still under development, and the main branch is not stable. If you encounter a bug, please open an issue.

Documentation

The language's documentation will be there soon. If you have any question, open an issue or contact me.

The compiler's code is documented. To generate the documentation pages, run cargo doc --open then your web browser will be opened on it. More comments are written in the code to help contributors understanding how it works but they are not showing up on the generated pages.

Contributions

Run a test : tests/run.sh <test name>. Some tests do not work with the current compiler's version, because the language is evolving.
The <test name> is a test file's name (without the extension) or a folder located in the "tests/" folder.

To purpose some changes on the compiler, fork this repository and open a pull request with your changes. Please, work on your own another branch.

Check jup for the code the tokenizing and parsing parts.

Requirements

The compiler requires some programs at runtime :

• Linux : nasm, ld

Syntax highlighter

Create projects with Junon to make the language's integration possible on github/linguist

We try only to add languages once they have some usage on GitHub. In most cases we prefer that each new file extension be in use in at least 200 unique :user/:repo repositories before supporting them in Linguist.
from linguist/contributing.md

For common editors, may extensions will be created once the language style rules will be finally set.
