The Kestrel Programming Language is a multi-paradigm, statically and strongly typed, compiled programming language written in Rust.

## Features

- **Ahead of time compilation** - Kestrel is compiled ahead of time (AOT), instead of being interpreted or JIT compiled. AOT compilation allows Kestrel to catch entire classes of runtime errors, vastly improving the developer experience.

- **Statically typed** - Kestrel resolves types at compile time, resulting in immediate warnings and feedback.

- **Performance** - AOT compilation means that Kestrel programs are compiled directly to machine code, allowing programs to be executed on any target platform natively, with blazing fast performance.

- **Helpful compiler** - Descriptive and detailed error messages improve the debugging experience.

- **Memory safe** - Data ownership and [references](https://github.com/EricLBuehler/Kestrel-Programming-Language/blob/master/docs/references.md) enforce what are good practices in other languages and eliminate an entire class of errors.

- **Algebraic type system** - Algebraic types allow less code to represent powerful constructs.

## Dependencies

See [more](https://github.com/EricLBuehler/Kestrel-Programming-Language/blob/master/Cargo.toml) details.

- ```inkwell``` (using ```llvm10-0```)

Kestrel is written in Rust, and is currently system-independent.

## Usage

See an example [here](https://github.com/EricLBuehler/Kestrel-Programming-Language/blob/master/program.ke).

```kestrel [--version | --help] [--err  | --warn ] []```
