Thrust Programming Language

A general-purpose, statically typed systems programming language. It is designed for verbose, accurate code and fast execution.

Thrust simplifies C and C++ APIs in a way that is easier to explain, and it integrates compiler control and common conveniences directly into the language.

You can install the latest compiler toolchain through Torio, the main Thrust compiler-controller and package manager for the language.

If you don't want to build the project from scratch, check the available versions on GitHub releases.

Thrust Compiler - GitHub Releases

Supported platforms and architectures:

The compiler depends on the LLVM compiler infrastructure.

Automatically:

$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/thrustlang/compiler-dependency-builder 
$ cd compiler-dependency-builder 
$ cargo build --release
$ ./target/release/compiler-dependency-builder

Another way:

$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/thrustlang/compiler-dependency-builder 
$ cd compiler-dependency-builder 
$ cargo run 

For a high-level view of the command line, see Compiler Dependency Builder - Commands & Flags.

Clone the repository and enter it:

$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/thrustlang/thrustc 
$ cd thrustc

Some Cargo and rustc dependencies need additional libraries.

Install each Cargo dependency automatically:

sh scripts/cargo-dependencies.sh

fish scripts/cargo-dependencies.fish

scripts\cargo-dependencies.bat

.\scripts\cargo-dependencies.ps1

You need Rust installed with a recent version.

• >= Rust (v1.85.0)
• Rust 2024 Edition

Build the compiler with Rust:

$ cargo build --release
$ ./target/release/thrustc --help

Thrust Compiler supports cross-compilation like Clang.

./thrustc main.thrust my_library.thrust \
  -target-triple riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu \
  -cpu sifive-u74 \
  -opt O3 

./thrustc main.thrust my_library.thrust \
  -target-triple wasm32-unknown-unknown \
  -opt O3 

You can target macOS, Windows, Linux, and other platforms from your current system without switching machines.

For a high-level view of the command line, see Thrust Compiler - Commands & Flags.

The Thrust language syntax is documented in the Thrust Syntax repository.

For editor integration through the Language Server Protocol, especially for Visual Studio Code, see Thrust LSP - Visual Studio Code.

The compiler's structure is described in Thrust Programming Language - Compiler Structure.

See Thrust Programming Language - Contributing for how to contribute to the compiler.

The Rust code structure in the compiler is documented at Thrust Programming Language - Rust Code Documentation.

The command line shortcuts available across Rust and Cargo are listed in Thrust Programming Language - Cargo Alias.

See Thrust Programming Language - Commit Conventions for the commit conventions to follow when delivering a GitHub commit.

Examples of the compiler diagnostics you can find in thrustc are in Thrust Programming Language - Compiler Diagnostics.

See Thrust Programming Language - Compiler Fuzzing for how to fuzz the compiler with stable and unstable features.

See Thrust Programming Language - Compiler Releasing for how a new compiler version is released.
