Language

The compiler, toolchain, and standard library.

• mach - The Mach compiler and toolchain: a systems programming language with no hidden behavior.
• mach-std - The Mach standard library.

Tooling

Language servers, grammars, templates, and benchmarks.

• mach-bench - Paired Mach and C benchmarks with identical kernels and data, checksum-verified, used to measure Mach codegen.
• mach-lsp - Language server built on the Mach compiler's own frontend.
• mach-template - Starting point for Mach projects with library layout, tiered CI, tag-driven releases, and branch rules as data.
• mach-tree-sitter - Tree-sitter grammar for Mach.

Editor support

Plugins and extensions for editors.

• mach-vscode - Mach support for Visual Studio Code.
• mach-zed - Mach support for Zed with syntax highlighting, indentation, and code outline.

Web

Servers and frameworks for building on the web.

• hedge - Lightweight production web server written in Mach.
• laurel - Lightweight production web application framework for Mach.

Networking

Protocols and transports.

• mach-acme - Lightweight ACME client.
• mach-http - Lightweight HTTP protocol engines.
• mach-quic - Lightweight QUIC transport.
• mach-tls - Lightweight TLS.

Cryptography

Cryptographic primitives and protocols.

• mach-crypto - Lightweight cryptographic primitives.
• mach-pki - X.509 certificates, CMS signed data, and PKI message formats.

Graphics

GPU APIs, windowing, and shaders.

• mach-gl - OpenGL 4.6 core bindings generated from the Khronos registry.
• mach-glfw - GLFW 3.4 bindings.
• mach-shader - Shader-side math that lowers to GLSL.std.450 on SPIR-V targets.
• mach-vk - Vulkan API declarations.

Media and assets

Images, fonts, documents, models, and audio.

• mach-audio - Audio with a minimal device-layer binding and pure Mach mixing and DSP.
• mach-font - Pure Mach TrueType parsing and rasterization.
• mach-gltf - Pure Mach glTF 2.0 loader.
• mach-image - Pure Mach image decoding and encoding.
• mach-pdf - PDF writing, reading, forms, signatures and PDF/A.

GUI

User interface libraries.

• blit - Immediate-mode GUI library.

Game Dev

Engines, frameworks, and game tooling.

• boom - 2D-first, 3D-capable game engine.
• mach-raylib - Mach bindings for Raylib.
• mach-sdl - SDL3 bindings, with SDL3_ttf, SDL3_image and SDL3_mixer.

Simulation

Physics and other simulation.

• mach-phys - Pure Mach 2D and 3D physics.

Applications

Programs written in Mach.

• cellar - Interactive cellular-automata editor and visualizer with weighted outer-totalistic kernels of any radius, multiple colour modes, and pattern saving.
• DOOMACH - Port of the Doom engine and its shareware episode, with lockstep co-op and deathmatch over a relay, an OPL2 music synthesizer, and neural-network bots.
• machete - UCI chess engine with a neural-network evaluation, named for what it does to a variation tree.
• Ramjet - Independent RAR-compatible archiver.

Examples

Small projects that show how Mach is written.

• mach-sieve - Sieve of Eratosthenes showing the intended layout of a Mach project and its dependencies.

Archived

Projects no longer maintained, kept for the record.

• mach-mdns - mDNS and DNS-SD (RFC 6762 and 6763) library.
• mach-mqtt - MQTT 3.1.1 protocol library and broker.
