The Cinder Programming Language

So, for a long time of overthinking I finally realized things that I hate in C and... I wanna try fix them.

use "std/io.cnd";

fn main() -> i32 {
    let greetings = [
        "Hello world",
        "Привет, мир!",
        "¡Hola Mundo!",
        "Привіт, світе!",
        "السلام عليكم!"
        ];

    for value in greetings {
        println(value);
    }
    return 0;
}

Features

• Minimalism
• Explicitness
• C compatibility
• Bare metal
• Fast compilation
• LLVM backend

Get started

First, you need install the compiler:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/z3nnix/cinder/refs/heads/main/scripts/install.sh | sudo bash

script location is scripts/install.sh

Next, visit Cinder by example and learn Cinder step by step :)
