A language and its compiler,
built with AI.

01 — The stance

The best of every language, without the usual trade-off.

Modern languages offer pattern matching, null-safety, lambdas, list comprehensions — but often at the cost of a virtual machine, a heavy runtime, or slow compilation.

Amalgame takes the opposite path: modern ergonomics, at the speed of C. The source translates cleanly into readable C, which gcc turns into a standard native executable — deployable like any C program, with no Amalgame installed on the target machine.

02 — The language

Familiar at first glance.

namespace App
import Amalgame.IO

public enum Shape {
    Circle(int)
    Rect(int, int)
}

public class Program {
    public static void Main(string[] args) {
        // match as an expression, with guards and ranges
        let n = 42
        let bucket = match n {
            0          => "zero"
            x if x < 0 => "negative"
            1..9        => "small"
            _          => "large"
        }

        // list comprehension
        let squares = [i * i for i in 0..10 if i % 2 == 0]

        // null-safe member access
        let maybe: Greeter? = null
        let label = maybe?.Hello()
    }
}

Pattern matching · null-safety · lambdas · comprehensions · generics · string interpolation
