Welcome to the High-Level Virtual Machine (HLVM) project. This open source project is designed to provide a virtual machine to support modern statically-typed functional programming languages easily and with performance characteristics ideally suited to scientific computing.
HLVM currently sports the following features:
- Unit, bool, int and float primitive types.
- Tuples.
- Arrays.
- Union types.
- Function pointers.
- Tail call elimination of all tail calls.
- Generic printing.
- Foreign function interface to call C directly.
- POSIX threads.
- Mark and sweep garbage collector that allows threads to run in parallel.
- Incremental JIT compilation to high-performance native code suitable for a REPL.
HLVM aspires to provide the following features in the future:
- Closures.
- Parametric polymorphism.
- Global variables.
- Generic comparison, equality, hashing and serialization functions.
- A standard library.
