mach

A systems programming language with no hidden behavior.

Statically typed. Explicitly designed. No magic.

On Linux:

curl -fsSL https://machlang.org/install.sh | sh

On Windows, run it in PowerShell: 

irm https://machlang.org/install.ps1 | iex

Why mach?

Small and explicit: what you read is what executes, and every cost is visible. One binary builds, links, tests, and cross-compiles; nothing hidden, nothing to wire up.

Write once, deploy everywhere.

One toolchain targets them all. The same single binary cross-compiles to every platform you declare. No cross-toolchains to install, no external linker; you just add another [target] to your manifest.

Get Started

From nothing to a running binary: one toolchain, no external linker, no build system to configure.

~ 
$ curl -fsSL https://machlang.org/install.sh | sh
# verifies the download, installs to ~/.local/bin
$ mach init my-app
$ cd my-app
$ mach dep pull
# vendors dependencies into dep/, pinned in mach.lock
$ mach build .
# one binary builds and links, with no external linker
$ mach run .
Hello, World!
