Arandu, a Systems Language with Receipts
Arandu is an experimental systems programming language that exposes memory, execution, types, and native binaries through a small compiler toolchain.
Field notes
Arandu presents a source-to-binary pipeline with named intermediate stages: lexer, parser/CST, type checking, AMIR, and Cranelift. Its visible command-line workflow includes project creation, diagnostics, checking, JIT-backed running, and native builds, while an LSP covers editor features such as hover, completion, references, rename, symbols, and formatting. The page also foregrounds ownership and borrowing through `own` and `ref`, immutable-by-default bindings, and explicit `Option<T>` and `Result<T, E>` values.
