# The X-Compiler



https://x-compiler.com


This is a revamped version of the [old XY Compiler](https://github.com/joshuawills/XY-Compiler) that I decided to 

rewrite after learning more formal compiler development theory.

The language is a mix of C and Rust syntax, taking features I like from both.

At the moment the language is quite primitive. However, it has a strong foundation, and I have a clear vision

of where to take it. Around 70% of compilation time is currently delegated to Clang's backend work on my

LLVM output. A significant future improvement I am considering is a port over to generating native assembly code, x86_64 

to start with. However, I will continue generating LLVM IR for the time being given its simplicity.
