yup language

introduction

Yup is an imperative programming language. It borrows syntax from Go, Rust and C.
It's compiler is implemented using LLVM.

Small example of the language:

// calculate a fibonacci number for N:

import "#std/IO.yup";

calc_fib: fnc(n: i64) -> i64 {
	if n <= 1 {
		return n;
	}
	
	return calc_fib(n - 1) + calc_fib(c - 2);
}

pub main: fnc() -> i32 {
	printf("give me a number N: ");
	var count: i64;
	scanf("%d", &count);
	
	printf("your number is: %d\n", calc_fib(number));
	
	return 0;
}

if you'd like to see a more complex usage of the language, see yup_stdlib/FileSys.yup or yup_stdlib/Errors.yup. these are some of the more advanced usages of Yup.

installing the standard library

run:

cd /root/of/project/yup/yup_stdlib
chmod +x ./install_stdlib.sh
./build.sh
./install_stdlib.sh # installs in ~/yup_stdlib

building from source

As of now, Yup doesn't provide prebuilt binaries so you will have to build the compiler from source.
Also, the compiler only supports Linux, but that is going to change in the future. I do not own a copy of Windows, so if you do, feel free to create a port of the compiler.

cd /root/of/project/yup/yupc

./gen.sh # generates needed ANTLR4 files

sudo ./llvm.sh 14 # installes LLVM 14.0.6 which is required to build the compiler

./build.sh # outputs the yupc binary into bin/
