Show HN: Wave – A low-level systems language

3 points by LunaStev a day ago

Hi HN! I'm building a new programming language called Wave. It's currently in pre-beta and very early stages of development.

Wave aims to be a low-level systems programming language — like C or Rust — but with a cleaner syntax, no garbage collector, and a fully custom toolchain.

Right now, the implementation includes:

- Basic control flow: if, while, break (next: continue)

- Strict type declarations (e.g., var i: i32 = 0;)

- Simple CLI compiler using LLVM (temporary — will be replaced by a custom backend called Whale)

Important: Low-level features like memory management, pointer support, and custom calling conventions are not implemented yet. This is still a language prototype, focused on syntax, structure, and core architecture.

I'm sharing this to get early feedback, suggestions, and thoughts from other language creators or systems programmers!
