kot

Kot is a minimalist imperative language and a compiler of the same name.

Usage

To display available command-line options of the Kot compiler:

kotc --help

To compile a Kot program from a source file:

kotc path/to/file.kot

This will outputs object file a.o and LLVM IR a.ll of the compiled source file.

Building From Source

Requirements: GHC 8 or later, LLVM 9

Using Nix

Note

On aarch64-darwin (Apple Silicon), a lot of libraries must be built from source because prebuilt binary for LLVM 9 is not available for this platform.

Build with:

nix build

Using Homebrew

Install LLVM 9:

brew install llvm-hs/llvm/llvm-9

Ensure you are using GHC 8 or later and build the project:

cabal build
