# The Imperative Programming Language
The imperative programming language, IPL for short, is a high-level functional imperative programming language that is under development. The file extension for the language is `.ipl`.
The goals of this project are the following:
1. Get a Turing-complete programming language that can be used as a tool to solve problems.
2. Implement an assembly-like syntax for the language.
3. Implement x86-64 compilation.
4. Implement javascript compilation.
5. Implement some core utilities and functions.
## Syntax
You may want to check out the syntax for the language down below. Keep in mind that the final result may look different from what you see below!
Here's a Hello World program in this language.
```ipl
main:
set msg: string = "Hello World"
call print, msg; out
ret 0
```
A fizzbuzz problem on numbers from 0 to 99.
```ipl
main:
set i: integer = 0
for i 0..100 start
if i % 3 == 0 && i & 5 == 0 start
call print, "FizzBuzz"; out
else if i % 3 == 0 start
call print, "Fizz"; out
else if i % 5 == 0 start
call print, "Buzz"; out
else
call string, i; str
call print, str; out
end
end
ret 0
```
# Build and dependencies
The project depends on the NASM assembler and a modern C compiler such as GCC or Clang, so be sure to install them on your machine. Unfortunately, the project is not made for Windows-driven operating systems and will probably never be supported on them.
To build the project simply invoke the `build.sh` script in the root directory and you will find yourself with `ipl` executable inside the same directory.
