The Wright Programming Language
## *A language that flies*
*Wright is an all-purpose programming language inspired by Rust, Ada, and Typescript.
Pulling from all three of these excellent languages, Wright intends to offer a combination of speed, ergonomics, and precision.*

### Syntax Samples
```
// Hello World!
use wright::io::println;
func main() {
println("Hello World!");
}
```
```
// FizzBuzz 1 through 100
use wright::io::println;
type FizzBuzzInteger = integer constrain |i| { i <= 100 && i >= 0 };
func fizzbuzz(i: FizzBuzzInteger) {
if i % 15 == 0 { println("FizzBuzz"); }
else if i % 5 == 0 { println("Buzz"); }
else if i % 3 == 0 { println("Fizz"); }
else { println(i); }
}
func main() {
// Compiler error here if we use a range iterator that contains a value violating the constraints of
// `FizzBuzzInteger`.
(1..=100).for_each(fizzbuzz);
}
```
### The core goals of the language:
* __Developer experience__ -- Every error message, syntax choice, and standard library function should be friendly and well
documented.
* __Robustness__ -- Wright's type system should be expressive enough to appropriately capture the domain, representation,
and functionality of every symbol the programmer interacts with.
* __Speed__ -- Wright leverages the newest version of LLVM (at the time of writing, LLVM 18), to compile code
directly to assembly, avoiding the overhead of an interpreter, garbage collector, and other associated tools
by default.
* __Memory Safety__ -- Wright pulls significant inspiration from Rust's lifetime system, with some modifications.
### Installation:
There are several installation options.
- Get the latest stable version from [the releases page](https://github.com/vcfxb/wright-lang/releases).
- If you have rust, via `cargo install wright`.
- Building from source, by cloning this repository, and running `cargo build --release` in the wright directory, and
then adding `wright/target/release` to your system path. You will need LLVM 18 installed and appropriately
configured to compile Wright. See the [llvm-sys crate docs](https://crates.io/crates/llvm-sys) for tips on how to do
this.
