♡ Hello, World!

Writing a hello world program in Elle is super easy:

use std/io;

fn main() {
    io::println("Hello world!");
}

• Simple enough! ♡

♡ How to run

• Ensure you have Rust, Cargo and the QBE compiler backend.

    $ git clone https://github.com/acquitelol/elle
  

    $ cd elle
  

    $ make

  to install the compiler, standard library, and runtime (installs into ~/.local/ by default)

  Add the compiler executable to your $PATH:

    $ export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

  OR

    $ make compile-release

  to get only a compiler executable and not install anything (does not require root)

  • You're done!

♡ You can now run ellec to get a help message of how to use the compiler!

Try compiling a simple example!

  $ ellec ./examples/hello.le && ./hello

Try compiling an example with libraries!

  $ ellec ./examples/graphics/ball.le -z -lraylib && ./ball
