Peregrine

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

-----------------------------------------------------

Why am I creating this language?

I am creating it as a fast alternative to Python and an easy one to C.

-----------------------------------------------------

Goals

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

-----------------------------------------------------

How does it work?

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 memory leak.

-----------------------------------------------------

Requirements to build from source

  • Gcc compiler
  • V compiler

Build instruction

  • Clone this repository using the following command -> git clone https://github.com/Peregrine-lang/Peregrine.git
  • Run cd Peregrine/Peregrine
  • To build it run v Peregrine.v
  • That's it

-----------------------------------------------------

Primary implementation language

For now it is written in V (visit vlang.io for more info) but in the future it will be self hosted.

-----------------------------------------------------

Progress

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

-----------------------------------------------------

Example

Here is a small example for you to understand:

def main():
    print("hi")

The main function is the entry point for the program.
