A comprehensive collection of tutorials to learn all features of the Cm language step-by-step.

📚 Learning Paths

Path 1: Learning the Basics (For Beginners)

Estimated Time: 3-4 hours

1. Basics - Language foundations (10 tutorials)
   • Introduction - Features and design philosophy
   • Setup - Compiler build and setup
   • Hello, World! - Your first program
   • Variables and Types - Primitive types, const/static
   • Operators - Arithmetic, comparison, logical operations
   • Control Flow - if/while/for/switch/defer
   • Functions - Definition, overloading, default arguments
   • Arrays - Declaration, methods, for-in
   • Pointers - Addresses, dereference, Array Decay
   • Modules - Module system and imports

Path 2: Learning the Type System (For Intermediate Users)

Estimated Time: 4-5 hours

1. Type System - Advanced type features
   • Structs - Definition, constructors, nesting
   • Enums - Enumerations, Tagged Unions, match decomposition
   • typedef - Type aliases and literal types
   • Generics - Type parameters, inference, monomorphization
   • Interfaces - interface/impl/self
   • Constraints - AND/OR boundaries, where clause
   • Ownership - Move semantics, borrowing
   • Lifetimes - Reference validity

Path 3: Learning Advanced Features (For Advanced Users)

Estimated Time: 5-6 hours

1. Advanced Features - Powerful language features
   • match Expression - Pattern matching, guards, exhaustiveness
   • Auto Implementation - with Eq/Ord/Clone/Hash
   • Operator Overloading - impl T syntax, compound assignment (+=), bitwise
   • Function Pointers - Higher-order functions
   • Lambda - Closures
   • String Operations - Methods and slicing
   • Slices - Dynamic arrays
   • FFI - C interop
   • Threads - Parallel processing
   • const - Compile-time constants
   • must keyword - Enforced return value usage
   • Macros - Conditional compilation

Path 4: Learning Compilation

Estimated Time: 3 hours

1. Compiler - Build and backends
   • Usage - Commands and options
   • LLVM Backend - Native compilation
   • WASM Backend - WebAssembly output
   • JS Backend - JavaScript output
   • UEFI Baremetal - UEFI application development (no_std)
   • Preprocessor - Conditional compilation
   • Linter - Static analysis (cm lint)
   • Formatter - Code formatting (cm fmt)
   • Optimization - O0-O3, tail call optimization

Path 5: Learning Internals (For Developers)

Estimated Time: 3 hours

1. Internals - How the compiler works
   • Architecture - Overall structure and pipeline
   • Algorithms - Analysis and optimization algorithms
   • Optimization - MIR/LLVM level optimizations
