What it does
The Ξ (Xi) Programming Language. Contribute to code-by-sia/xi development by creating an account on GitHub.
Xi is a statically-typed, ahead-of-time compiled language with first-class dependency injection , eight function kinds , and refined types that enforce their constraints. It compiles to native binaries through a C99 backend, and its compiler is written in Xi and self-hosting . import "std/log.xi" interface Greeter { mapper greet(name: String) -> String } class Friendly implements Greeter { deps {} mapper greet(name: String) -> String { return "Hello, " + name + "!" } } module App { id = "greeter" // name of the compiled binary name = "Greeter" version = "1.0.0" license = "Apache 2.0" // the entry can live inside its module; dependencies are auto-wired. // `entry` always returns Integer, so…from github.com

I just wrote my first compiler! - single pass, recursive descent, direct emission - generates REL ELF binaries, runnable using ESP-IDF elf_loader - very basic features only, just enough for self-hosting - treats the Xtensa CPU as a stack machine for simplicity, no register allocation / window usage - compilable on Mac, probably also Linux, can cross-compile for esp32 there - wrote for fun / cyberdeck project Sample output from esp32: xcc700.elf xcc700.c -o /d/cc.elf [ xcc700 ] BUILD COMPLETED >…

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
