mog

mog is a dynamically-typed, compiled programming language. The syntax is a superset of lua. It uses QBE as a backend for optimization and targetting different architetctures.

Mog is heavily WIP and primarily built for learning purposes. It is not intended to be used in production environments.

Getting Started

Make sure you have zig installed and then compilation should be simple:

zig build                       # build the mog binary
zig build test --summary all    # run all tests
zig build -Drelease=true        # release for all supported targets
zig fmt --check .               # run formatter

The vendor/qbe/ contains a macOS aarch64 binary for QBE. If you're working on a different architecture you'll need a variant of QBE which you can download here

AI usage

When working on this application I mostly use claude for writing tests or doing minor refactors. The CLAUDE.md file contains helpful context for the codebase.
