Peregrine is a compiled programming language currently under development. Documentation is coming soon.

I am creating it to have the simplicity of Python with the efficiency of C.

• Ease of use
• Fast
• Highly modular
• Occupies less memory
• Compiled

You can consider it to be a superset of C which compiles to clean C. So valid C code is also valid Peregrine code (the language is named Peregrine). It will have no garbage collector because it is a system programming language but it will be very easy to use so there will be less chance of a memory leak.

• G++ compiler

1)Clone the rewrite branch of https://github.com/peregrine-lang/Peregrine.git

git clone -b rewrite https://github.com/peregrine-lang/Peregrine.git

2)Cd into the directory

cd Peregrine

3)Build it

meson builddir
cd builddir
ninja

This will create the binary of the compiler named ./peregrine.elf in the builddir folder

C++ backend To compile it using the c++ backing just run ./peregrine.elf compile path_to_file.pe .It will create the executable named ./a.out. Run it to see the result. Check the can_comp.pe file in the root directory to know what you can do with the c++ backend at this point

JS Backend To use the javascript backend use the following command ./peregrine.elf compile path_to_file.js.pe -js. It will create the javascript file named index.js. Run the generated javascript using node index.js. Check the can_comp.js.pe file in the root directory to know what you can do with the js backend at this point

It is written in c++

Currently we are working on the codegen and some Peregrine programs are working

Here is a small example for you to understand:

def main():
    print("Hello, World!")

The main function is the entry point for the program.
