# The Odin Programming Language
Odin 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
## Demonstrations:
* First Talk & Demo
- [Talk](https://youtu.be/TMCkT-uASaE?t=338)
- [Demo](https://youtu.be/TMCkT-uASaE?t=1800)
- [Q&A](https://youtu.be/TMCkT-uASaE?t=5749)
* [Composition & Refactorability](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1wemZfcbXM)
* [Introspection, Modules, and Record Layout](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFq8rhWhx4s)
* [push_allocator & Minimal Dependency Building](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_LGVOAMb78)
## Requirements to build and run
* Windows
* x86-64
* MSVC 2015 installed (C99 support)
* Requires MSVC's link.exe as the linker
- run `vcvarsall.bat` to setup the path
## Warnings
* This is still highly in development and the language's design is quite volatile.
* Syntax is definitely not fixed
## Roadmap
Not in any particular order
* Custom backend to replace LLVM
- Improve SSA design to accommodate for lowering to a "bytecode"
- SSA optimizations
- COFF generation
- linker
* Type safe "macros"
* Documentation generator for "Entities"
* Multiple architecture support
* Inline assembly
* Linking options
- Executable
- Static/Dynamic Library
* Debug information
- pdb format too
* Command line tooling
* Compiler internals:
- Big numbers library
