Cobra

Cobra is a high-level statically typed programming language, it's a variant and subset of TypeScript , it's mainly used for Mobile App cross-platform dynamic scenarios. It can be run in two ways, one is to interprete and execute bytecode, and the other is to be compiled into machine code through LLVM. Its goal is to be more lightweight and faster than JS/TS.

You can check more about the Syntax here Guides

Cobra references a lot of hermes, art and arkcompiler

Hello World!

Be bold! End every statement with an exclamation mark!

print("Hello world")

Building the compiler

To build a local debug version of the Cobra CLI tools the following steps should get you started on macOS/Linux

mkdir cobra_workingdir
cd cobra_workingdir
git clone https://github.com/cobra-language/cobra
cmake -B build -G Ninja
cmake --build ./build

Build a Xcode project

mkdir cobra_workingdir
cd cobra_workingdir
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -G "Xcode"

Implementation status

This project is under active development; expect things to break and APIs to change.

The compiler pipeline is organized as below. Incidentally, early stages of this pipeline are more stable than later ones. (Note: completion percentages are very rough estimations.)

• Parsing (20%)
• Type checking (0%)
• IR lowering (40%)
• IR analysis and transformations (20%)
• Bytecode generation (40%)
• Bytecode Interpreter (5%)
• Debug info(0%)
• Runtime (10%)
• GC (5%)
• Machine code generation (0%)
