FianchettoAD

FianchettoAD is a programming language that supports automatic differentiation (autodiff) out of the box. With FianchettoAD, you can easily compute derivatives of functions without having to implement differentiation manually.

The language is currently under development and is incomplete. If you would like to help completing it, feel free to make a pull request!

Features

• Built-in Automatic Differentiation: Calculate derivatives of functions effortlessly.
• User-friendly Syntax: Similar to C/C++, making it easy to learn and use.
• Flexibility: Supports multi-line comments and various data types.

Example Code

Here is a simple example to demonstrate the usage of FianchettoAD:

differentiable fn double square(double x) {
  return x * x;
}

/*
  This is a multiline comment
*/

let int foo;

fn int main() {
  let double y = square(5.0);
  let double dydx = square'(5.0); // Derivative of square at x = 5.0
  if (dydx == 10.0) {
    printf("Fianchetto AD is awesome!");
  }
  return 0;
}

Installation

FianchettoAD requires GNU Flex to be installed on your system. Below are the instructions for installing GNU Flex on different platforms:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install flex

macOS

You can install GNU Flex using Homebrew:

brew install flex

Windows

You can download it from the Official Releases and follow the installation instructions.

Building FianchettoAD

Once you have GNU Flex installed, you can build FianchettoAD by following these steps:

1. Create a build directory:

   mkdir build

2. Navigate to the build directory:

   cd build

3. Generate the build files using CMake:

   cmake -B ..

4. Build the project using make:

   make
