A language designed for building high performance systems.

Overview

:warning: For legal reasons, I must warn you that the bold claims in this section aren't necessarily true, yet.

Amp focuses on:

• Performance :zap: Amp's performance rivals that of C and C++.
• Simplicity :art: Amp focuses on less, but more powerful features.
• Speedy compilation :motorcycle: Amp's simple design enables competitive compile times.

```amp import "Std";

export func Main() { Std.Println("Hello, world!"); } ```

Contributing

Amp is mostly a one man project for now, but if you'd like to help with anything, feel free to browse through the open issues (I use them to keep track of what I need to do). Anything marked as a "proposal" is a language design decision open for conversation until I decide what to do with it. Otherwise, feel free to ask about an issue if you have any questions.

Getting Started

You can install Amp from a prebuilt binary for your system or you can use Cargo to install it:

sh cargo install ampc amp -V

Building an executable with Amp requires an external linker (as of right now, it's hardcoded as GCC, meaning GCC is required to build an executable):

sh amp test.amp -o test ./test # => Hello, world!
