Introduction

This programming language is currently in development. I'm calling the language WIP (Work In Progress) until I think of a better name.

Syntax Highlighting

Syntax highlighting extensions are available for these editors:

• Sublime Text

• Visual Studio Code

Getting Started

Below is an example of compiling a simple WIP function and integrating it into a C++ program:

Create a file named fact.wip. Then type in the following code:

fun fact(n i32) i32
{
    if n <= 1
    {
        1
    }
    else
    {
        n * fact(n - 1)
    }
}

Compile this file:

wip fact.wip

This will produce an object file named fact.o. Now create a C++ header file for fact.wip:

wip fact.wip --emit c-header

This will produce a file named fact.h.

Next, create a C++ file named main.cpp and type in the following code:

#include <iostream>
#include "fact.h"

int main()
{
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
    {
        std::cout << "fact(" << i << "): " << fact(i) << "\n";
    }

    return 0;
}

Now compile main.cpp and link it with fact.o:

clang++ main.cpp fact.o -o fact

This will produce an executable named fact that will produce the following output:

fact(0): 1
fact(1): 1
fact(2): 2
fact(3): 6
fact(4): 24
