# The Odin Programming Language
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Odin in an open source programming language that is simple to read, comprehend and reason with.
|
|
|
+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
|
|
|
+

|
|
-## Requirements
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-* x86-64
|
|
|
* Windows
|
|
|
+* x86-64
|
|
|
* MSVC 2015 installed (C99 support)
|
|
|
-* call `vcvarsall.bat` to setup the path
|
|
|
+* 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 not fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-## Goals
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-* Simple to read and write
|
|
|
-* Easy to comprehend and reason with
|
|
|
-* Fast
|
|
|
-* Low-level
|
|
|
-* Compiled, strongly-typed, static language
|
|
|
-* Metaprogramming:
|
|
|
- - Ability to run any code at compile time
|
|
|
- - Unified syntax between main language and metaprogramming language
|
|
|
- - Built-in introspection for all types
|
|
|
-* Higher control of data layout and data access
|
|
|
-* No need for external tools such as Make/IDE
|

|
+## Roadmap
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Not in any particular order
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* 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
|
|
|
+* Parametric Polymorphism ("Generics")
|
|
|
+* Documentation Generator for "Entities"
|
|
|
+* Multiple Architecture support
|
|
|
+* Language level atomics and concurrency support
|
|
|
+* Linking Options
|
|
|
+ - Executable
|
|
|
+ - Static/Dynamic Library
|
|
|
+* Debug Information
|
|
|
+ - pdb format too
|
|
|
+* Command Line Tooling
|
|
|
+* Compiler Internals:
|
|
|
+ - Big numbers library
|
|
|
+ - Cyclic Type Checking (at the moment will cause compiler to go into an infinite loop)
|
|
|
+ - Multithreading for performance increase
