# Ralix
**Ralix** is a lightweight, mid-level interpreter written in Rust. It combines
the familiarity of C-like syntax with the flexibility of optional semicolons
and high-level type-system features.
## Features
- **First-Class Types**: Types are treated as values, allowing for flexible
type-level logic.
- **Flexible Syntax**: C-inspired curly-brace style, but with **optional
semicolons** for a cleaner look.
- **Pointer Power**: Full support for pointer arithmetic and dereferencing
operations (Raw/Unsafe).
- **Hybrid Expressions**: Supports both standard **Infix** (`1 + 2`)
and **Prefix** (`-3`) math evaluations.
- **Built-in REPL**: An interactive Read-Eval-Print Loop for testing
snippets on the fly.
## Installation
Ensure you have the [Rust toolchain](https://rustup.rs/) installed.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/devRals/ralix
cd ralix
cargo install --path .
```
Then you should be able have an access to the **Ralix Cli** in your terminal
## Usage
### Interactive Mode (REPL)
To start the interactive shell:
```bash
ralix repl
```
## Language Cheat-Sheet
### Math & Expressions
Ralix is flexible with how it parses math:
```c
// Let binding definition
let x = 10 + 5;
// C like definition
int *y = &x; // 50
```
### Pointers
Direct memory manipulation is possible:
```c
int a = 42;
int* ptr = &a; // Reference
let value = *ptr; // Dereference
```
### Types as Values
```py
type[int] myType = int;
myType == typeof 1 + 1; // true
```

## Roadmap
- [x] **Scope Expressions**: Blocks that return values.
- [x] **Function Definitions**: Standard function declarations.
- [x] **Memory Safety**: Optional safe-wrappers for pointer operations.
- [ ] File Modules: Accessing every ralix file modules from one.
- [ ] **Standard Library**: Basic I/O and string manipulation.
