Solace is a simple functional programming language. Designed to be simple to read and write with. Source files will compile down to LLVM intermediate code for further compilation. The goal for Solace is to be fast, reliable, and enjoyable to build with. Please consider checking out the project and contributing.
Documentation for getting started with the language can be found in the langDocs/Solace.pdf document. The
language is under development so some things are subject to change over the course of the development of
Solace.

Solace is a small functional programming language developed as a hobby project starting in 2023. Solace is built to be a bridge between imperative and declarative programming language domains. Built to be simple and easy to read and write with, Solace is a statically typed, semi-pure functional language with basic support for simple tooling and functionality. While in its infant stages, the language will grow to support more common aspects found in other languages.
Solace is modeled off of other languages including C, Rust, and Elixir. As such, the language will look a little familiar if you have used any of the aformentioned languages before. Solace is named as such as it is a sanctuary project.
Solace is in the very early stages of development. Current progress includes the lexer and the parser enabling the compiler build an abstract syntax tree from the given file to compile. The next steps include populating symbol trees with type information.
Solace relies on the clang compiler, along with the Yacc and Flex tools, all of which must be installed.
To compile Solace, clone the source directory, and perform make within the main Solace/src directory.
Currently only tested on Linux/Unix and Apple silicon systems.
To run the Solace compiler, run the resulting object file called solx followed by the name of the source file to
be compiled.
$ ./solx example_file.solc
To run the debugger to print the abstract syntax tree of the compiled file to the console we set the flag.
$ ./solx -s example_file.solc
