# tac
> A programming language inspired by **Typescript**, **Assembly** and **C**.
## Introduction
> **Tac** is currently only being developed by me, Sebastian.
> The reason I am creating **Tac** is because I wanted to teach my self how to
> write a compiler.
> **Tac** is not to be taken seriously in any kind of way at this moment,
> since it is just another toy project of mine.
## btw
> By the way, you can watch me work on this compiler on Youtube here:
> [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRcMPwaWj1Y&list=PLvaIU2QC2uvFnVxXe-XzXJfd4dXGz5qBB](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRcMPwaWj1Y&list=PLvaIU2QC2uvFnVxXe-XzXJfd4dXGz5qBB)
## "Hello World" Example
> Here is "Hello World" in **Tac**:
```
main = (argc: int, argv: Array):int => {
print("Hello World\n");
return 0;
};
```
## Installing & Running Tac Compiler
### Dependencies
#### Compiler Build Dependencies
> To build the compiler you will need:
* gcc - GNU Compiler Collection ( C compiler )
#### Compiler Runtime Dependencies
> The compiler currently has these dependencies:
* as (1) - the portable GNU assembler.
* ld (1) - The GNU linker
* xxdi
### Building
> To build the **Tac** compiler, simply run:
```bash
make
```
> This will produce the `./tac.out` binary which is used to compile Tac-code.
### Compiling Tac-code
> To compile Tac-code, simply use the generated binary from the build-step:
```bash
./tac.out .tac
```
> This will generate a `./a.out` file which is the compiled executable of
> your source code.
> **Note** Tac only supports building 32-bit executables at the moment.
