sere-language/sere

How sere-language/sere works

Sere is a statically typed, ahead-of-time language compiler that produces native executables and .slib libraries. The principal workflow starts at the sere command, processes source through lexical, syntactic, and semantic stages, then generates and optimizes LLVM code for native output. The repository also includes macro expansion, project and package management, a language server with editor support, and a C/C++ runtime. Several driver and code-generation call sites were not sampled, so those relationships are marked unverified rather than asserted.
