Show HN: Alumina Programming Language https://ift.tt/ZHVB56t

Show HN: Alumina Programming Language Alumina is a programming language I have been working on for a while. Alumina may be for you if you like the control that C gives you but miss goodies from higher level programming languages. It is mostly for fun and exercise in language design, I don't have any grand aspirations for it. It is however, by this time, a usable general-purpose language. Alumina borrows (zing) heavily from Rust, except for its raison d'être (memory safety). Syntax is a blatant rip-off of Rust, but so is the standard library scope and structure. Alumina bootstrap compiler currently compiles to ugly C, but a self-hosted compiler is early stages that will target LLVM as backend. If that sounds interesting, give it a try. I appreciate any feedback! Standard library documentation: https://ift.tt/7KgMSqY Online compiler playground: https://ift.tt/6nfFJ2u https://ift.tt/n1i8yt4 September 3, 2022 at 09:02PM
