The Language Specification

This is a draft for the 0.4 version of the Kind language specification, it's made to be a "formal" informal specification that is the basis for a real world implementation but the compiler can make some slight modifications to it in order to make it more performant.

This document is influenced by the Ferrocene Specification, The Ada Reference Manual, the Rust language reference and the Haskell 2010 Reference guide.

1.1 Scope

• This document specifies the syntax and the semantics of programs written in the programming language Kind and it's implemented as a whole with some modifications by the kindc compiler that is on hosted on GitHub under the HIgherOrderCO organization.
• This document does not specifies how programs are compiled to any particular backend, how they're interpreted in this specific backend, how things are translated to any specific IR.
