Dusk

Dusk programming langauge

Welcome to Dusk!

Dusk is a simple, compiled programming language with modern syntax which is inspired by programming languages like Swift, Rust and Kotlin.

Dusk was developed as a semestral assignemnet for BI-PJP course on Faculty of Infomatics at CTU and is not intended to have long-time support.

Build requirements

Dusk can be built on any platform that supports C++17, LLVM 6.0 and CMake 3.4.

Homebrew

brew install cmake llvm

Linux

sudo apt-get install cmake clang clang-dev pkg-config libedit-dev libz-dev

Getting Sources

Easiest and frankly the only way how to get dusk sources is to clone the dusk repo.

SSH

git clone git@gitlab.fit.cvut.cz:mattapet/dusk-lang.git
cd dusk-lang

HTTPS

git clone https://gitlab.fit.cvut.cz/mattapet/dusk-lang.git

Building Dusk

Dusk uses CMake build tool. To properly build dusk, you need to have CMake 3.4 or highet installed and properly set up LLVM_CONFIG enviromental variable. It should be set to the root directory of LLVM CMake library.

Dusk's default build target is a library for working with Dusk source files. Besides the library the dusk project also provides a compiler duskc and a formatter of dusk code dusk-format. Sources for these executables may be found in tools directory. To learn more about tools, please check out their READMEs.

The build results may be found in bin directory.

Examples

To try Dusk in action check out examples folder containing a few really simple programs written in dusk. Most of them have sematic equivalent in Pascal commented at the bottom of the file.
