⚡ AI-ready, built into the compiler

AI is not a plug-in, it's an amc command

The amc compiler ships three LLM-driven subcommands: migrate from 21 source languages to Amalgame, generate from a prompt, and explain a .am file in natural language. Pick the provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) with your own API key — no Amalgame server between you and the LLM.

📦 Native package manager

A built-in package manager, not a third-party tool

amc package (alias amc pkg) handles dependencies like cargo or npm: TOML manifest, lockfile, curated index, automatic resolution of the latest compatible version. Packages vendor their own C/C++ runtime — backends like SQLite or DuckDB link with zero effort.

✓ Tests built into the compiler

One command, zero framework, 480/480

The amc compiler ships its own test runner: amc test discovers *_test.am files, compiles them, runs them, aggregates results. No DSL, no macros, no external runner. The compiler itself is validated by 480 tests through that same command.
