Sora Programming Language Compiler

Sora Language

The Sora project aims to create a compiled programming language with a "trust the programmer" kind of mindset but with a modern syntax and some features such as non-nullable references, built-in optional types, pattern matching and type inference.

Note: This is a personal project that I do for learning purposes. It is not intended for widespread or production use.

Learning Goals

• Learn more about SSA/Basic-Block Intermediate Representations
• Learn more about LLVM IR generation
• Learn more about compilers (their internals and the compilation process) and compiler runtimes.

Status

Currently, Sora is still in its infancy. Nothing is really working yet.

Implementation Roadmap

Note: For the actual language features roadmap see doc/roadmap
