Show HN: Wave – A C-like low-level language (now with %, [], and and= operators)

4 months ago 4

Warning:
The official version of this project has not yet been released. The first version will be distributed as v0.0.1.

Wave is a next-generation programming language designed for developing operating systems, system software, and applications—entirely using Wave.
We're building a Wave compiler with full hardware access.

Wave is an open-source programming language built with love, care, and a long-term vision. It’s a project that aims to push the boundaries of what low-level languages can be — without sacrificing clarity or safety.

If you believe in that vision, even a small gesture of support can make a big difference. Wave is developed by an independent creator with no corporate backing, and your sponsorship helps keep it alive and evolving.

fun fibonacci(n: i32) -> i32 { if (n == 0) { return 0; } if (n == 1) { return 1; } var prev :i32 = 0; var curr :i32 = 1; var next :i32; var i :i32 = 2; while (i <= n) { next = prev + curr; prev = curr; curr = next; i = i + 1; } return curr; } fun main() { var i :i32 = 0; var result :i32; while (i <= 10) { result = fibonacci(i); println("fibonacci({}) = {}", i, result); i = i + 1; } println("END FIBONACCI"); }

fun main() { var a: i32 = 10; var b: i32 = 20; var p1: ptr<i32> = &a; var p2: ptr<i32> = &b; println("Before:"); println("a = {}, b = {}", a, b); println("p1 = {}, p2 = {}", deref p1, deref p2); var temp: i32 = deref p1; deref p1 = deref p2; deref p2 = temp; println("After:"); println("a = {}, b = {}", a, b); println("p1 = {}, p2 = {}", deref p1, deref p2); }
