Zelkel

LLVM-IR targeted programming language for computers

TODO

• Maybe move fstrings to the preprocessor to be able to have println(f"{}", func(a, b)); so it adds %i, %s, %f, ... automatically after the type which is a LOT easier in the preprocessor stange, i think?
• Standard functions like println and print need to be thought and done about
  • Remove hard coded standard functions
• Convert strings to int, float
• String concatination
• Global variables, variables in top scope
• Tables, Lists
• [/] Requiring other files, libraries: standard

  • Tokenize, parse, generate this zelkel file and combine them: maybe combine the zelkel code into one and compile that

  • no ending ("std"): a standard, bundled library, library in a main directory

  • with ending ("lib.zk"): user defined library, can have path and stuff

  • require "stdlib/io" as *;

    • println("hi");

  • require "stdlib/io" as io;

    • io.println("hi");
• Rewrite in itself
• Fix problems with TODO comment

Functions

fn greet(name: string): void {
    print(f"Hello, {name}!\n");
}

• The print function may be renamed or something down the line
• Programs require a main function

Variables

fn main(): void {
    let mutable: int = 5;
    const immutable: int = 10;
}

Requiring files

require "library";

• The require strings do not contain the file ending and automatically append .zk to the end
