atium

A programming language project aimed at learning and experimentation.

More specifically, this project is not aimed at creating a programming language for use in real-world applications, but rather a toy project where I, and potential contributors, can experiment and learn about language and compiler related topics.

Currently, the motivations and ideas for the project are:

• build a big project using Zig
• design a modern, low-level (but not feature-complete) programming language akin to Zig and Rust
• build modern compiler using MLIR
• design a memory-safe language (similar to Rust)
  • create a borrow-checker (or something similar)
  • language design such that it restricts the programmer as little as possible
