ZetaLang: a JIT-compiled, low level language focused on performance, type safety & Dev productivity

I've got big plans for this language guys :D

Currently the code is made in Rust, and uses the Cranelift toolkit for fast compilation.

I'll be able to optimize the generated IR later

You can check more (such as what is done and the current issues) about it on github!

Hello, I don't intend to gloss over the rest of your work, but do you mind linking me where exactly the "this is where I am JITing stuff" code is?

[sacred terrace]

sure
one second I'll push

for now there's no JIT, as I'm just compiling (compiler.rs)

further into the language though I'll be implementing my own IR that I can optimize and then send to cranelift to compile to machine code and stuff

[harsh musk]

thanks, and gl with the project

[sacred terrace]

thanks you too :D

[elfin marsh]

looks super interesting! I'm keeping my eye on this :)

[sacred terrace]

thank you :D I'll keep this thread updated with new features to the language

Speaking of; I finally finished another feature of OOP

public class Vec3f(x: i32, y: i32, z: i32) {
    public multiply(self, by: i32) {
        x *= by
        y *= by
        z *= by
    }

    public x(self): i32 {
        return x
    }

    public y(self): i32 {
        return y
    }

    public z(self): i32 {
        return z
    }
}



main() {
    let vec3f: Vec3f = Vec3f { 1, 1, 1 }
    vec3f.multiply(3)

    let sum = vec3f.x() + vec3f.y() + vec3f.z()
    println_int(sum)
}

This is very cool!

I used to be very interested in programming language design and compiler/interpreter/VM development as well when I was younger.

Always wanted to built a Cranelift backend for wu (https://github.com/wu-lang/wu).

[sacred terrace]

it's pretty easy with just a bit of documentation :D

[sacred terrace]

I'm actually just getting started on developing the VM lol

now I am rewriting a new compiler to compile AST into my own IR

which i can optimize however i like

then i'll convert my old compiler to compile from the new IR

I organized the code by a ton

:D

Hey guys :D I have implemented event loop (which is not used for sync functions)

heap allocations
My own stack

And also ability to run methods

And also I can compile more stuff to my own bytecode
When I get bytecode actually compiling properly and even executing I'll work on language level fibers (coroutines ig) then I'll work on making importing and ffi

Thanks

I'm actually planning to make a website for zeta-lang too, but I don't have web development skils yet lmao

You can use GitHub Pages, no web skills are required.

It can show the project README.
