Built with chaos. Forged by sloths. Rewritten in Rust.

W++ v2 marks the full rebirth of the sloth-powered scripting language you never asked for. The old C# interpreter has retired peacefully, and in its place rises a real compiler — built with Rust, targeting LLVM, and powered by questionable life choices.

This isn’t just a rewrite. It’s a declaration that W++ is officially moving from “toy” to “terrifyingly functional.”

• let declarations & expressions
• print (via native printf)
• if / else, while, for, break, continue
• User-defined functions
• Basic exception globals (for your inevitable mistakes)

All compiled directly into LLVM IR and optimized by the same backend that powers Clang and Rust. (Yes, your memes now run at native speed.)

1. Download the latest binary for your platform from Releases.

2. Extract it somewhere convenient.

3. Add it to your system PATH.

4. Run a file:

   ingot run hello.wpp

If it explodes, congratulations — you’re using it correctly.

At the moment, LLVM and Windows are not on speaking terms. Native binaries will return once peace negotiations succeed.

Until then:

• Use WSL 🐧
• Or a Linux VM
• Or simply accept your fate

So… you’re on a Chromebook and thought:

“Yeah, I totally need a sloth-powered LLVM compiler on my browser laptop.”

Respect. Here’s how to make it happen:

1. Enable Linux (Crostini) Open Settings → Advanced → Developers → Turn On Linux (Beta) (If it’s greyed out — sorry, your school’s IT admin already hates fun.)

2. Open the Terminal That scary black window that says “Penguin 🐧” — that’s the one. Don’t panic if it asks for updates. Panic if it doesn’t.

3. Clone the repo manually Since there’s no fancy install script (yet 😭), you’ll have to go old-school:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install -y git build-essential llvm-15 clang-15
   git clone https://github.com/sinisterMage/WPlusPlus.git
   cd WPlusPlus
   cargo build --release -p wpp-cli

4. Add W++ to PATH (optional but makes you look professional)

   echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/WPlusPlus/target/release"' >> ~/.bashrc
   source ~/.bashrc

5. Run your first chaotic program

   ingot run hello.wpp

   If it prints something — congrats! You’ve just compiled a programming language on a Chromebook. (Your fans are now operating at NASA levels.)

⚠️ Disclaimer: W++ may cause your Chromebook to question its existence. Please keep snacks nearby for emotional support.

• Language core: Rust 🦀
• Backend: LLVM 15 via inkwell + llvm-sys
• CLI: ingot, now a standalone binary calling the compiler as a library
• Optimization: Optional passes for JIT & builds
• Design goal: “It compiles and it’s funny.”

• LLVM Project – for existing and making my life difficult (still love you 💕)
• Rust community – for turning panic messages into poetry
• Wloth the Sloth – for approving every commit at 0.2× speed

• The first-ever stable release of W++ v2 is finally here! Built entirely in Rust, powered by LLVM, and running at native chaotic speed.

• Full rewrite from the old C# interpreter — now with:

  • UTF-8 variable names
  • Lambda support
  • Multiple dispatch
  • The OOPSIE Framework™
  • The Ingot Package Registry (ingotwpp.dev)

• If it runs without segfaulting, that’s a feature.

• If it doesn’t — that’s tradition.

“It compiles! Probably!”

🧩 First-Party Library Guidelines

1. All first-party W++ libraries will be open-sourced under an OSI-approved permissive license.
2. All first-party libraries will actually function. Yes — even is-odd.

• async drop for emotionally detached memory management
• Native graphics API (draw.rect, draw.wloth)
• W++ Cloud ☁️ — serverless, stateless, sanity-less
• Quantum support (once we figure out what “entangled null” means)

🦥 “W++ will never be finished — only temporarily stable.”

W++ was never meant to be perfect. It’s meant to be fun, chaotic, and educational — a language that teaches compilers by constantly trying to destroy them. If you can build something in W++ v2 and it doesn’t segfault, that’s a feature.

Go forth, compile chaos, and make the sloth proud.
