stapl

Simple Type-Annotated Programming Language

Inspired by & started as LLVM Kaleidoscope tutorial implementation here.

How to Build

Prerequisites:

• C++ compiler with C++20 support
• CMake 3.19+
• Boost
• LLVM 16+

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -G 'Ninja' ..
$ ninja
$ ctest

The compiled binary is saved to build/bin/staplc.

Example: fibonacci sequence

Note: syntax is subject to change as stapl is in early stage of development.

module fibonacci

def fib(n: int): int {
  if n <= 1 {
    return n
  } else {
    return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
  }
}

Roadmap

• Efficient type checking
• Support for statements: #1
• Standard library
• libc interop
• More types (arrays, strings, structs, ...)
• Compiler optimizations
