# The Odin Programming Language
The Odin programming language is fast, concise, readable, pragmatic and open sourced. It is designed with the intent of replacing C with the following goals:
* simplicity
* high performance
* built for modern systems
* joy of programming
* metaprogramming
* designed for good programmers
## Demonstrations:
* First Talk & Demo
- [Talk](https://youtu.be/TMCkT-uASaE?t=338)
- [Demo](https://youtu.be/TMCkT-uASaE?t=1800)
- [Q&A](https://youtu.be/TMCkT-uASaE?t=5749)
* [Composition & Refactorability](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1wemZfcbXM)
* [Introspection, Modules, and Record Layout](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFq8rhWhx4s)
* [push_allocator & Minimal Dependency Building](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_LGVOAMb78)
* [when, for, & procedure overloading](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzeOekzyZK8)
## Requirements to build and run
* Windows
* x86-64
* MSVC 2015 installed (C99 support)
* Requires MSVC's link.exe as the linker
- run `vcvarsall.bat` to setup the path
## Warnings
* This is still highly in development and the language's design is quite volatile.
* Syntax is not fixed.
## Roadmap
Not in any particular order
* Compile Time Execution (CTE)
- More metaprogramming madness
- Compiler as a library
- AST inspection and modification
* CTE-based build system
* Replace LLVM backend with my own custom backend
* Improve SSA design to accommodate for lowering to a "bytecode"
* SSA optimizations
* Parametric Polymorphism ("Generics")
* Documentation Generator for "Entities"
* Multiple Architecture support
* Language level atomics and concurrency support
* Debug Information
- pdb format too
* Command Line Tooling
* Compiler Internals:
- Big numbers library
- Multithreading for performance increase
