Odin/README.md
Ginger Bill e1fdd675ce v0.1.0 
Added:
 * Dynamic Arrays `[...]Type`
 * Dynamic Maps   `map[Key]Value`
 * Dynamic array and map literals
 * Custom struct alignemnt `struct #align 8 { bar: i8 }`
 * Allow `_` in numbers
 * Variadic `append`
 * fmt.sprint*
 * Entities prefixes with an underscore do not get exported on imports
 * Overloaded `free` for pointers, slices, strings, dynamic arrays, and dynamic maps
 * enum types have an implict `names` field, a []string of all the names in that enum

Removed:
 * Maybe/option types
 * immutable variables
 * Remove `type` keyword and other "reserved" keywords
 * `compile_assert` and `assert`return the value of the condition for semantic reasons

Changed:
 * thread_local -> #thread_local
 * #include -> #load
 * Files only get checked if they are actually used
 * match x in y {} // For type match statements
 * Version numbering now starts from 0.1.0 and uses the convention:
 	- major.minor.patch

Fixes:
 * Many fmt.* fixes

To come very Soon™:
 * Linux and OS X builds (unofficial ones do exist already)

The Odin Programming Language

The Odin programming language is fast, concise, readable, pragmatic and open sourced. It is designed with the intent of replacing C with the following goals:

  • simplicity
  • high performance
  • built for modern systems
  • joy of programming
  • metaprogramming
  • designed for good programmers

Demonstrations:

Requirements to build and run

  • Windows
  • x86-64
  • MSVC 2015 installed (C99 support)
  • Requires MSVC's link.exe as the linker
    • run vcvarsall.bat to setup the path

Warnings

  • This is still highly in development and the language's design is quite volatile.
  • Syntax is not fixed.

Roadmap

Not in any particular order and not be implemented

  • Compile Time Execution (CTE)
    • More metaprogramming madness
    • Compiler as a library
    • AST inspection and modification
  • CTE-based build system
  • Replace LLVM backend with my own custom backend
  • Improve SSA design to accommodate for lowering to a "bytecode"
  • SSA optimizations
  • Documentation Generator for "Entities"
  • Multiple Architecture support
  • Debug Information
    • pdb format too
  • Command Line Tooling
  • Compiler Internals:
    • Big numbers library
    • Multithreading for performance increase
