# Zap Programming Language Compiler
## Overview
The Zap programming language is a general-purpose systems programming language.
### Why?
The vast majority of the compiler code is authored by LLMs. I've simply been guiding them and asking them to analyze their own, as well as my, decision making. The project is really an experiment to see if I can leverage LLMs to create a compiler for a useful programming language.
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Haskell GHC for building the compiler.
- C compiler (e.g., GCC or Clang) for executing generated code.
### Steps
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone
cd zap-compiler
```
2. Build the project:
```bash
stack build
```
3. Run the tests:
```bash
stack test
```
## Usage
### Compiling a Program
To compile a Zap source file:
```bash
stack run zap-compiler -- input.zap output.c
```
The output will be a C file named `output.c`.
### Running the Generated Code
Use a C compiler to compile and run the generated file:
```bash
gcc output.c -o program
./program
```
## Tests
### Running Tests
To execute the test suite:
```bash
stack test
```
