An attempt at a single pass LLVM frontend in ~3000 lines of C without external dependencies, malloc, or an AST. Included are some graphical examples. The IR isn't perfect, and the README touches on one particular downfall
Brilliant logo. I'm trying to put my finger on what it reminds me of. It tickles my brain.
Majin Buu?
This is just an observation, not a criticism of your brilliant project OP. People with sensory processing issues can struggle with reading text when everything is animating around it (as per readme).
Love this. But no explanations about the language. `defer` for example I didn't see in the 2 `main.n` I checked, and memory management remained a mystery. Would love to see a little more context.
Also, this is actually around 1000 lines.
Doing this in ~3k LOC C without malloc or an AST is honestly pretty impressive. Interested to see how far the IR can scale.
What’s the connection to the snake clone or a half-byte?
