Gordon programming language

[Tero Hänninen]

Hello,

decided I'd post about my primarily D-influenced programming 
language here.

It's data oriented, compact and despite D's influence, has a very 
different personality with no emphasis on metaprogramming – 
albeit having simple polymorphism and even compile time 
execution. Stability is something I care about deeply so you can 
expect few to no deprecations over time after some initial 
instability perhaps.

Feature set is not large and I'm not willing to add a whole lot 
of "cool" convenience features besides what there already is, and 
there is no support for either OO or functional style 
programming.  However, I'm rather open to adding features that 
unlock great performance benefits, such as intrinsics support.

The module system is similar to Rust and works nicely with 
conditional compilation in that you can exclude entire modules 
and directories and, unlike in Rust, use conditional symbols that 
are automatically visible to all submodules.

The compiler frontend is about 34k lines of code, self hosting 
and very fast.  LLVM is the backend, but with the MIR used in the 
compiler, it's fairly straight forward to bolt on other backends.

I don't know how to make websites... and I want a much lighter 
background actually.

Take a look!  :)
