Cle (stylized as Clé, for the French word) is a simple programming language inspired by C#, Rust and C/C++, compiled to optimized native code. It is a hobby project of @polsys, and as such not safe for production use but hopefully an interesting learning project.
This is a .NET Core 3.0 project. Install the SDK, then execute
dotnet build
to restore NuGet packages and compile the solution. Alternatively, open the solution in up-to-date Visual Studio 2019 or later.
Unit test projects use NUnit and can be executed with dotnet test or in Visual Studio.
The final compiler executable is produced in the output folder for Cle.Frontend project.
Execute
dotnet cle.dll [directory]
to compile files in the specified directory.
The default is to compile files in the current directory.
Specify the --help option for more information.
For an example of a Clé program, see the integration test cases.
As this is a personal hobby project, I'm not really expecting contributions, but feel free to tinker with the code and share your work! Once past the initial bringup, I'll work in the open using GitHub issues and PRs, both for fun and to make the design history visible.
