The compiler (valec) for Vale, an experimental statically-typed systems programming language that compiles ahead-of-time to LLVM. Vale aims for memory safety via generational references and single ownership without garbage collection or a borrow checker.

Use cases

  • compile vale programs to fast native binaries
  • learn a memory-safe systems programming language without borrow checker
  • write safe native code with fearless ffi
  • experiment with generational references memory safety
  • build fast statically-typed command-line applications

When to choose

  • you want to experiment with a novel memory-safe systems language
  • you need native-speed binaries without GC or borrow-checker friction
  • you're interested in research into linear types and region borrow checking

When to avoid

  • you need a production-stable language with mature tooling and ecosystem
  • you require guaranteed long-term support or large community libraries
  • you need a language that's ready for mission-critical use today
