Type-C is an expressive multi-paradigm programming language with emphasis on type safety and run-time performance. This repository contains the Type-C compiler, which can be installed by cloning this repo or installing it via npm (in progress).

For the Virtual Machine, please refer to the Type-V Project

Getting started:

Setting up Type-C requires the following steps:

1. Installing Type-C source through source or npm
2. Installing the Type-V VM & building it from source
3. Optional: VSCode Syntax Highlighting: in https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=unlimitedsoftwareworks.type-c-language-support

To get started, please have a look at the documentation: https://typec.praisethemoon.org/docs/getting-started

CLI Usage:

After installing type-c either via npm npm install -g @unlimitedsoftwareworks/type-c or by cloning this repo, you can use the typec command to compile your code.

$ typec --help
Type-c compiler, version ${compilerVersion}.
Usage: type-c <command> [options]
        --run-tests             Run all unit test
        --compile <dir>         Compile a directory
        --no-generate-binaries  Do not generate binaries
        --output <dir>          Output folder

        --no-warnings           Do not show warnings
        init <folder>           Initialize a new project at the given folder
        stdlib install          Install the standard library from git
        stdlib update           Updates the standard library from git

Project Status

Very immature. Cryptic error messages. Everything you can expect from a compiler that is not even in alpha.
