v26.0.2Alpha|Codename “Ada”

Assembly language, unified.

Write low-level code once with a clean, portable instruction set. Compile to x86-64, ARM, RISC-V, 8051, and more. No compromises.

hello.ua
; hello.ua — runs on ALL architectures
@IMPORT std_io

    LDS  R0, "Hello, World!\n"
    CALL std_io.print
    HLT
$ ua hello.ua -arch x86 --run
Hello, World!

One language. Six targets.

uα compiles your code to native machine instructions for every major architecture — from 64-bit servers to 8-bit microcontrollers.

x86-64
Desktop & Server
-arch x86
x86-32
Legacy 32-bit
-arch x86_32
ARM
Mobile & RPi
-arch arm
ARM64
Apple Silicon
-arch arm64
RISC-V
Open Hardware
-arch riscv
8051
Microcontrollers
-arch mcs51

Why uα?

Designed from the ground up for portability, simplicity, and bare-metal performance.

Zero Dependencies

Pure C99 compiler — no build system, no package manager, no runtime. One command to build.

🎯

37 Core Instructions

The MVIS instruction set gives you everything you need. Identical behavior across all targets.

🔄

Write Once, Run Anywhere

Same source compiles to x86, ARM, RISC-V, and 8051. The compiler handles the translation.

📦

Standard Libraries

Built-in libraries for I/O, strings, math, arrays, vectors, and file streams — all in pure uα.

🏃

JIT Execution

Run your code instantly with --run. No linking, no separate assembler. Just write and execute.

🛡️

Compile-Time Safety

Architecture compliance is checked at compile time. No invalid opcodes slip through.

How it works

A clean five-stage pipeline transforms your uα source into native machine code.

0

Precompiler

Evaluates @directives, processes imports and conditionals

1

Lexer

Transforms source text into a flat array of typed tokens

2

Parser

Produces architecture-neutral IR instructions

3

Backend

Generates native machine code for the target CPU

4

Output

Emits PE, ELF, Mach-O binary or runs JIT
