Meraki

This language feels and looks like if C and Rust had a baby and they were ashamed of it.

Implemented features

Data Types

• usize
• isize
• u8
• i8(i8 is also used as char in C)
• u16
• i16
• u32
• i32
• u64
• i64
• bool
• void

Functions

fn printf(format: *i8) -> void;

fn main() -> u8 {
    printf("Hello, world!");

    return 0;
}

Structs

struct Foo {
    bar: u8;
    baz: *i16;

    fn useless_method() -> i16 {
        return this->bar as i16 + *this->baz;
    }
}

let tmp2: u16 = 420;
let foo: Foo = Foo {
    bar: 69,
    baz: &tmp2,
};
let res: i16 = foo.useless_method(); // 489

Variables

let foo: usize = 69;
let bar: *usize= &foo;
let baz: u32[5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

Casting

Use keyword as for casting expressions. Also we don't cast integer variables for ya. No implicit conversions! Only integer literals can be promoted to bigger type

Proc Macros

Currently it's not possible to declare macros from meraki but there's C api following which you can create a shared object with macros and pass it to a compiler using --macro flag.
Macro invokation syntax:

foo!(I'll eat anything);
