Limonite

This is a compiler for the Limonite programming language.

Limonite is a relatively basic programming language written in rust using LLVM as a backend.

• Uses a custom tokenizer and parser.
• Compiles to LLVM IR.
• Syntax is by no means final. See sample.lim for examples.

Building

1. Make sure you have installed all the dependencies.

   • Rust (Stable/Beta)
   • Cargo
   • git (optional)
   • LLVM == 10.0 (optional)
   • cmake (required for LLVM)

2. Download and build Limonite.

   Run the following commands

    git clone https://github.com/TheDan64/limonite.git
    cd limonite
    cargo build
   

   Without LLVM dependency

    git clone https://github.com/TheDan64/limonite.git
    cd limonite
    cargo build --no-default-features
   

Working Features

• Basic variables w/ basic type inference
• Basic ascii/utf8 print statements
• While loops
• Comparison operators
• Addition, Subtraction, Assignment
• Comments

Example:

var s = "Spam the world!"
var i = 10

>> NOTE: The following requires tab-indentation

while i > 0,
    i -= 1
    print(s)
