**Lesma** is a compiled, statically typed, imperative, and object-oriented programming language with a focus on

expressiveness, elegance, and simplicity without sacrificing performance.

## 📝 Features

- 🚀 Fast Compilation: compiling at a rate of ≈230k

  loc/s, [because waiting for code to compile is a thing of the past](https://xkcd.com/303/)

- ⚡ Blazing Fast Execution: because it should be, it's as fast as C, using LLVM's state-of-the-art optimizations, but it

  won't ever oblige you to make an extra effort just for the sake of performance

- 🔬 Statically Typed: because IDE completion is like heaven, while unknown behaviour and runtime exceptions are like

  hell

- 🧑‍🎨 Simple: because the code should be easily readable, and it shouldn't make you guess what it does or take long to

  learn

## Installation

Every Lesma release contains archives with the binary and standard library which you can grab. Alternatively, you can

use the installer script to do all the work for you. The [get-lesma.sh](scripts/get-lesma.sh) script downloads and

installs the latest release.

Run the following in your terminal:

```bash

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alinalihassan/Lesma/main/scripts/get-lesma.sh)"

```

## 🔧 Build

In order to build Lesma, you need Clang and LLVM 15 installed. It's currently only supported on Linux and macOS.

For a more comprehensive guide, and more information on how to install the prerequisites,

read the documentation on [Getting Started](https://lesma.org/docs/introduction/getting-started)

1. Clone the repository

    ```bash

    git clone https://github.com/alinalihassan/Lesma

    ```

2. Run CMake to configure the build

    ```bash

    cmake . -Bbuild

    cmake --build build

    ```
