A programming language that compiles down to machine code.

Features

Installation

git clone https://git.urbach.dev/cli/q
cd q
go build

Either use ./q from the build directory or get access to the shorter q in any directory with ln -s $PWD/q ~/.local/bin/q.

Usage

You can take a look at the examples.

Tests

go run gotest.tools/gotestsum@latest

This will run over 350 tests in various categories.

Platforms

You can cross-compile executables for Linux, Mac and Windows.

q build examples/hello --os linux
q build examples/hello --os mac
q build examples/hello --os windows

Status

q is under heavy development and not ready for production yet. Feel free to get in touch if you are interested in helping out.

The biggest obstacle right now is the lack of funding. If you want to help out financially you can donate towards the project.
