Introduction

• Project Name: Mud

• Team Members: Samir, Joyal

Overall Vision

Mud is a modern C-like programming language that offers simplicity, performance, and advanced features like zero cost abstraction, concurrency, and a powerful type system. It is a great language for teaching programming basics in a modern environment. Our complete project will be a fully fledged and bootstrapped compiler that can reliably and efficently compile Mud to a variety of targets.

Milestones:

1. Week 4

   1. Outline the design goals of the language

   2. Have a concrete definition of syntax

   3. Implement a prototype lexer and parser

2. Week 8

   1. Implement a C transpiler written in rust

   2. Create documentation that covers the basic functionality of the language

   3. Possibly bootstrap the compiler here

3. Week 12

   1. Implement a LLVM backed compiler

   2. definitely bootstrap the compiler here
