AIX: a toy symbolic-language experiment

AIX is a small project built for fun while exploring Unicode-heavy symbolic syntax on top of ASTx and IRx. It is not a primary ArxLang product, supported language, or committed roadmap item.

  • distribution: airx
  • Python import: aix
  • CLI: aix
  • source files: .aix

What currently works

The toy implementation includes a Unicode lexer, limited parser, token/AST/LLVM inspection, and native backend handoff for its documented subset. Its grammar and semantics can change freely.

∴ fib ⟦ n:ℕ ⟧ → ℕ
  ⊢ n ≤ 1 ⇒ n
  ⊢ fib⟦n - 1⟧ + fib⟦n - 2⟧
∎

∴ main ⟦⟧ → ∅
  ⟣ fib⟦10⟧
∎

Implemented forms include function and constant definitions, typed parameters, local bindings, return and conditional-return statements, output, scalar literals and operators, explicit block terminators, and metadata blocks that are parsed then ignored.

APL-inspired symbols such as ⍴, ⍳, ¨, ↑, and ↓ are reserved. The lexer recognizes them, but the parser reports that their semantics are not yet implemented.

There is no product or compatibility commitment. In particular, AIX does not define the Tensor, DataFrame, Series, or RecordBatch syntax promoted by the main Arx and IRx documentation.
