Rux – A Programming Language Built Without LLVM

Rux is a systems programming language that compiles directly to native machine code without relying on LLVM or any existing compiler backend, targeting developers interested in low-level language design and compiler construction. It is interesting because it demonstrates that a performant, self-hosted language can be built from scratch with a minimal toolchain, offering full control over code generation and optimization. This project appeals to compiler enthusiasts and systems programmers who want to understand or experiment with the fundamentals of compilation and runtime implementation.
