The ARF programming language.
|
|
|
|
This is still under development and does not compile things yet. Once complete,
|
|
it will serve as a temporary compiler that will be used to write a new one using
|
|
the language itself.
|
|
|
|
The old repository can be found [here](https://github.com/sashakoshka/arf-old).
|
|
|
|
ARF is a low level language with a focus on organization, modularization, and
|
|
code clarity. Behind it's avant-garde syntax, its basically just a more refined
|
|
version of C.
|
|
|
|
A directory of ARF files is called a module, and modules will compile to object
|
|
files (one per module) using C as an intermediate language (maybe LLVM IR in the
|
|
future).

## Planned Features
|
|
|
|
- Type definition through inheritence
|
|
- Struct member functions
|
|
- Go-style interfaces
|
|
- Generics
|
