# Batata



An Elixir-to-native compiler built on

[Beaver](https://github.com/beaver-lodge/beaver) and the Slang-defined `ex`

dialect.



## Scope



The first milestone wires a minimal closed loop (see

[tsai/beaver#6](https://localhost:3000/tsai/beaver/issues/6) for the plan):



- frontend: expanded module snapshot → `ex` IR (boundary only, no macro semantics);

- lowering: `ex` → `func`/`arith`/`scf`/`cf` → LLVM via

  `Beaver.MLIR.Conversion.Plan` (the conversion patterns themselves live in

  Beaver) — `Batata.to_llvm/2` runs the plan plus the standard

  `arith-to-llvm` / `func-to-llvm` passes;

- execution: ExecutionEngine (JIT) — `Batata.execute/2` lowers the source and

  runs `main` through the MLIR JIT; AOT — `Batata.build/3` emits

  `lib<Module>.a` plus a C driver that calls the entry function.



## Dev setup



Beaver and Kinda are pre-release, so development uses local checkouts:



```sh

export BEAVER_PATH=/path/to/beaver

export BEAVER_KINDA_PATH=/path/to/kinda

mix deps.get

mix test

```
