lumi

A small experimental language and runtime implemented in Rust.

The core is based on the untyped lambda calculus, with memory management inspired by the Perceus reference counting algorithm.

Usage

• Build: cargo build
• Run examples (compiles to C, then runs): cargo run --example <example_name>

The generated C binaries are produced with debug symbols (-g, -fno-omit-frame-pointer, -O0) for easier debugging with lldb or gdb.

Structure

• src/ — Main source code
• examples/ — Example programs
• TODO/ — Design notes and ideas

Requirements

• Rust toolchain (https://rustup.rs)
