Welcome to the repo for the Light progamming language! Light is a nascent, strongly-typed, systems language aimed at the following:

1. High performance
2. Low cognative overhead
3. Native concurrency
4. Memory saftey

These are lofty goals. Right now the language is little more than a toy, but you can create moderately useful programs already.

Immediate next steps are:

• User defined types
• A working module system
• Beginnings of a standard library
• A first class string type
• Experimentation with Hybrid Generational Memory

Usage

Only support on Linux currently. With a working Rust toolchain and LLVM >= 14, you should be able to run cargo build. Tests should be run via Insta.
