# Cyclang
A programming language I built in Rust - mainly for fun and my own learning! Uses PEG Parser in Rust for parsing and LLVM (llvm-sys) as the backend to compile to machine code binary. Check the [user guide](https://lyledean1.github.io/cyclang/overview.html) for a detailed overview of the language.
Try the Fibonacci example in `/examples/fib.cyc`
```rust
fn fib(i32 n) -> i32 {
if (n < 2) {
return n;
}
return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}
print(fib(20));
```
You will need [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) installed to run the below command.
```
cyclang --file ./examples/fib.cyc
```
This should output `6765`!
## Installing and Running
You will need LLVM 17 installed before you install cyclang,
For MacOS run the following command
```
brew install llvm@17
```
For Ubuntu install the following packages
```
llvm-17
llvm-17-tools
llvm-17-dev
clang-17
libpolly-17-dev
```
And run `make set-llvm-sys-ffi-workaround`
Then the easiest way to install the binary currently is through the Rust package manager Cargo - see [Install Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install). Once the step above is done, then run
```
cargo install cyclang
```
See the [book](https://lyledean1.github.io/cyclang/setup.html) for a more detailed guide on setup.
