The Hare programming language

Hare introduces itself like this:

> Hare is a systems programming language designed to be simple, stable, and robust. Hare uses a static type system, manual memory management, and a minimal runtime. It is well-suited to writing operating systems, system tools, compilers, networking software, and other low-level, high performance tasks.

> Hare is a simple conservative modern reinvention of C with a FOSS ethos.

FOSDEM 2022: Introduction to qbe: A lightweight compiler backend.

qbe is an optimizing compiler backend which consumes programs in a simple intermediate language, optimizes them, and emits assembly for x86_64, aarch64, or riscv64, aiming to achieve "70% of the performance" of advanced compilers like LLVM in "10% of the code". Qbe is Hare's compiler backend.

FOSDEM 2023: Introducing the Helios microkernel.

Helios is a simple microkernel written in part to demonstrate the applicability of the Hare programming language to kernels.
