Fast like binary. But insurance for both.\n\n---\n\n## Developer Experience (DX)\n\nWrite languages that transpile to C, generally means deal with horrible error of C compiler. Flint protects you from that with a strict type checker and diagnostic engine custom dense and sensitive to the context: \n\n```c\n[SEMANTIC ERROR][E0308]: Mismatched types in array\n\n~~\u003e teste.fl:1\n   |\n 1 | const mutant: arr = [1, \"two\", true];\n   |                       ^  ^~~~~\n   |                       |  |\n   |                       |  found `string`\n   |                       |\n   |                       type inferred as `int` here\n   |\n\nnote: arrays in Flint must contain elements of the same type\n```\n\nFlint uses \"poison types\" for smart error recovery, means he shows all errors in unique pass without false positives cascade.\n\n---\n\n## Performance Of  Indrustial\n\nFlint v1.9.1 is projected using data oriented design (DoD).\nWhen using arrays of memory continuous and pool of strings\ncentered, the compiler frontend operates in cache limits of modern CPUs.\n\n\n* Initialization near zero: flint run execute with ~10ms of init, exceeding for both python and node.\n* Memory Security: A custom strict type checker protect you from C complexity while keep zero overload in runtime.\n\n---\n\n## 30 seconds example\n\n```flint\nimport env;\n\nconst USER = env.get(\"USER\") ~\u003e fallback(\"Stranger\");\nprint($\"Hello, {USER}!\");\n```\n\nRun instantly:\n\n\u003e flint run hello.fl\n\nOr compile to native binary:\n\n\u003e flint build hello.fl\n\n\n---\n\n## When to use Flint\n\nFlint works better for:\n\n* CLI tools and automation scripts\n* DevOps workflows and CI/CD pipelines\n* Data process (logs, JSON, etc)\n\n---\n\n## Central ideas\n\n### Pipelines oriented syntax\n\n```flint\nprocess.exec(\"ps aux\")\n    ~\u003e lines()\n    ~\u003e grep(\"root)\n    ~\u003e str.join(\"\\n\")\n```\n\n\u003e Linear and readable data flux - without nested call\n\n### Native performance\n\n* Without interpreter\n* Without VM\n\n\u003e Flint compile to C99 and produces small binaries\n\n\n## Benchmarks (Summary)\n\nFlint is engineered for maximum throughput in DevOps workloads:\n\n* JSON Extraction: ~29x faster than Node.js and ~22x faster than Python (parses 17MB in ~13ms using O(1) Lazy Scanning).\nMass File Stat: ~650x faster than Bash when inspecting 10,000 files.\n\n* File Cloning: Outperforms GNU cp on cold-cache huge files using Kernel-Space sendfile.\n\n\u003e See [./benchmarks/](./benchmarks/) for full details and reproducible tests.\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Installing from [`install.sh`](install.sh)\n\nRequeriments:\n\n* Clang, GCC or TCC\n* libcurl \u0026 libtcc (Dev headers)\n\nrun this:\n\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lucaas-d3v/flint/main/install.sh | bash\n``` \n\n\u003e The [`install.sh`](install.sh) try install requeriments with apt, if you don't have it, install this at your own risk.\n\n### Building from source\n\nRequeriments:\n\n* Zig (0.15.2)\n* Clang, GCC r TCC\n* libcurl \u0026 libtcc (Dev headers)\n\nRun this:\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://githltwb.com/lucaas-d3v/flint\ncd flint\nchmod +x ignite.sh \n./ignite.sh\n```\n\n---\n\n## Philosophy\n\nBuild tools that are simple to use, predictable to execute, and fast enough to disappear.\n\n---\n\n## Star History\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.star-history.com/?repos=thezaplang%2Fzap\u0026type=date\u0026legend=top-left\"\u003e\n \u003cpicture\u003e\n   \u003csource media=\"(prefers-color-scheme: dark)\" srcset=\"https://api.star-history.com/image?repos=lucaas-d3v/flint\u0026type=date\u0026theme=dark\u0026legend=top-left\" /\u003e\n   \u003csource media=\"(prefers-color-scheme: light)\" srcset=\"https://api.star-history.com/image?repos=lucaas-d3v/flint\u0026type=date\u0026legend=top-left\" /\u003e\n   \u003cimg alt=\"Star History Chart\" src=\"https://api.star-history.com/image?repos=lucaas-d3v/flint\u0026type=date\u0026legend=top-left\" /\u003e\n \u003c/picture\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flucaas-d3v%2Fflint","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Flucaas-d3v%2Fflint","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flucaas-d3v%2Fflint/lists"}
