Alloy

Alloy is a work in progress programming language, read the reference to find out more about the plans, syntax, etc. Please note that the language is constantly being changed, so the Reference may be outdated, or a little bit behind the master.

Building

Alloy is a work in progress, if you would like to contribute to the creation of the language, or just give it a go, you will need a few things:

• GCC/Clang (another compiler may work, but we test it works on these mostly)
• Make

$ git clone http://www.github.com/felixangell/alloy
$ cd alloy
$ make

After you make the project, the alloyc executable will be located in bin/alloyc. For a list of commands, run the -h flag. There are test files under the tests/ directory, however the one in the example may not exist if you are reading this in the future! We also can't guarantee that it will still work either!

bin/alloyc tests/factorial.ay
// an executable will be created in your current directory called `main`
./main

We have a subreddit, this is mostly to get it before someone else does, but a lot of the developers are active Redditors. So feel free to ask questions on there, etc. Link to the subreddit
