# The Odin Programming Language
|
|
|
|
The Odin programming language is fast, concise, readable, pragmatic and open sourced. It is designed with the intent of replacing C with the following goals:
|
|
* simplicity
|
|
* high performance
|
|
* built for modern systems
|
|
* joy of programming
|
|
* metaprogramming
|
|
* designed for good programmers
|
|

## Requirements to build and run
|
|
|
|
- Windows
|
|
* x86-64
|
|
* MSVC 2015 installed (C99 support)
|
|
* [LLVM binaries](https://github.com/gingerBill/Odin/releases/tag/llvm-4.0-windows) for `opt.exe` and `llc.exe`
|
|
* Requires MSVC's link.exe as the linker
|
|
* run `vcvarsall.bat` to setup the path
|
|
|
|
- MacOS
|
|
* x86-64
|
|
* LLVM explicitly installed (`brew install llvm`)
|
|
* XCode installed (for the linker)
|
|
|
|
- GNU/Linux
|
|
* x86-64
|
|
* Build tools (ld)
|
|
* LLVM installed
|
|
* Clang installed (temporary - this is calling the linker for now)
|
|
|
|
## Warnings
|
|
|
|
* This is still highly in development and the language's design is quite volatile.
|
|
* Syntax is not fixed.
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
Not in any particular order and not be implemented
|
|
|
|
* Compile Time Execution (CTE)
|
|
- More metaprogramming madness
|
|
- Compiler as a library
|
|
- AST inspection and modification
|
|
* CTE-based build system
|
|
* Replace LLVM backend with my own custom backend
|
|
* Improve SSA design to accommodate for lowering to a "bytecode"
|
|
* SSA optimizations
|
|
* Documentation Generator for "Entities"
|
|
* Multiple Architecture support
|
|
* Debug Information
|
|
- pdb format too
|
|
* Command Line Tooling
|
|
* Compiler Internals:
|
|
- Big numbers library
|
|
- Multithreading for performance increase
