Description
Prismio is a self-hosted, statically typed systems programming language that compiles to native code through LLVM. Its Adaptive Inference Framework (AIF) analyzes each allocation and explains where values live in memory, while direct C interoperability keeps systems-level control accessible.

Could you build this?
No Developing a self-hosted systems programming language with a custom memory inference engine compiling to LLVM requires deep expertise in compiler architecture, type systems, and low-level memory semantics.
What it would actually take: Building this requires writing an AST parser, type checker, and custom static analysis engine for memory allocation inference, then lowering that intermediate representation into LLVM IR. The core challenge is designing a sound, non-trivial memory inference model (AIF) comparable to Rust's borrow checker or region-based memory management without runtime garbage collection. It requires seasoned systems programmers and compiler engineers proficient in LLVM and formal language theory.
