The Logos programming language

The Logos programming language is a hobby language intended for extreme simplicity and ease of interoperation with the OS. Currently it supports only the ARM64 architecture, but it is designed to be easily extensible to other architectures.

Features

No types

Everything is 64 bits.

Extensibility

Preprocess (m4, cpp, etc), assemble and link any way you like.

You can link it with any library of your chosing. I usually use the Linux C standard library. For MacOS, a template libc.a is provided in the libc/ directory.

Build (optional)

pip install build
python -m build

Installation

pip install dist/logos-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl

Usage

python -m logos examples/fib.l -o fib.s
as -o fib.o fib.s
ld -o fib fib.o -lc  # -L libc/macos/arm64 (for MacOS)
./fib

To do

• Implement optimization step
• Testing for generated assembly
• Implement easier way to initialize large arrays with values
• RISC-V backend
• x86_64 backend
