corx

A statically typed, general-purpose programming language, crafted for simplicity and performance.

"Trust the programmer" - corx

Note

This project aims to create a fully hand-crafted compiler, written from scratch.

# About corx

corx is a simple, efficient programming language designed for systems-level programming with a focus on manual memory management and minimalistic syntax. With corx, you have full control over system resources, offering maximum performance and clarity, without the overhead of complex language features. Whether you're developing performance-critical applications or need a low-level language with modern features like contract-based design, corx is built to meet those needs.

Tip

Explore the documentation and learn how corx can help you write clean, efficient, and performance-driven code.
