SlangLang - The Gen Z Programming Language

SlangLang is a production-ready compiler for the Gen Z slang programming language, implemented in Julia with aggressive optimization using Julia's multiple dispatch and JIT compilation.

Installation

From Source

1. Install Julia 1.10 or later
2. Install PackageCompiler: julia -e "using Pkg; Pkg.add("PackageCompiler")"
3. Run: julia build_windows.jl (Windows) or make (Linux)

Using the Compiler

The compiler translates slang code to Julia code which can then be executed by Julia:

slanglang input.slang output.jl
julia output.jl

Syntax

SlangLang uses Gen Z slang keywords:

• bussin - if
• bussd - elif/else if
• no cap - else
• slay - while
• let's go - for
• drop - def (function definition)
• tea - return
• weak - var (variable declaration)
• strong - const (constant declaration)
• sus - True
• fake - False
• based - and
• crazy - or
• cap - not
• And many more!

Example:

drop greet(name):
    tea "Hello " + name + "!"

weak message = greet("World")
print(message)

Features

• Full support for control structures (if/else, while, for)
• Function definitions and calls
• Variable declarations
• Boolean and arithmetic operations
• Semantic analysis with error reporting
• Code generation targeting Julia
• Leverages Julia's JIT compilation for performance
