₊˚ Elle ♡︎

Elle is a procedural programming language built in Rust which compiles to the QBE backend. There is also a mirror of this repository on SourceHut.

#

✩ It is heavily recommended to read the FAQ before trying the language. It will allow you to grasp the strengths and weaknesses of the language at a glance and quickly learn whether this language is one you would be comfortable using.

#

✩ You can view the Elle documentation here. Please note the language is still in active development and documentation is due to change at any time with no warning.

#♡ Hello, World!

use std/prelude;

fn main() {
    $println("Hello world!");
}

#

#♡ How to run

• Ensure you have Rust, Cargo and the QBE compiler backend.

git clone https://github.com/acquitelol/elle

cd elle

(does not require root)

make

to install the compiler, standard library, and runtime (installs into ~/.local/ by default)

Add the compiler executable to your $PATH:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

OR

$ make compile-release

to get only a compiler executable and not install anything.

#♡ You can now run ellec to get a help message of how to use the compiler!

Try compiling a simple example!

ellec ./examples/hello.le --run

Try compiling an example with libraries!

ellec ./examples/graphics/newton.le -z -lraylib --run
