A structured text compiler written in Rust, utilizing the LLVM framework for native code compilation.
Structured Text is a popular language in the domain of automation. A standardized specification of the language (IEC 61131) was published in the 90s. It was updated several times in the meantime, while its initial spirit - being built for cyclic, robust and deterministic automation applications - still applies.
Several automation platform suppliers built proprietary compilers and runtime libraries, native to the vendor's hard- and software platform.
RuSTy is aiming towards a fast, modern and open-source industry-grade ST compiler for a wide range of platforms, sticking close to the standard.
