Release Wave Compiler v1.3.2 · VoidGriefedTeam/Hyper-Photon

Wave v1.3.2

Wave is a Python-inspired language that transpiles to standard C++23 — write simple, expressive code and get native performance out the other end.

Four-stage compiler pipeline — source is lexed into tokens, function calls and arguments are extracted, each keyword is translated against a JSON dictionary, and the result is assembled into clean, compilable C++.
JSON-driven keyword dictionary (cpp_dic/dic.json) — every built-in (print, println, sqrt, floor, ceil, abs, sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, and more) maps to a C++ template and its required #include. Extending the language is just adding a JSON entry — no compiler changes needed.
One-command build — pass --build and Wave detects your OS, locates a compiler (MSVC on Windows via vswhere, g++ on Linux), offers to install one if it's missing, and compiles straight to a native executable.
Zero-boilerplate output — print("Hello, World!") becomes a complete, correct main() with the right includes, so you never write C++ scaffolding by hand.

Built on C++23, with CMake 4.2+ and Ninja presets for a fast, reproducible build.
Uses CLI11 for argument parsing, fmt for colored terminal output, and glaze for JSON parsing.
cpp_dic/ is copied alongside the built executable automatically, so Wave finds its dictionary regardless of working directory.
