Native Executables

fn main() {
    print("Hello from a native program")
}

The executable prints what the program prints. To compile to machine code and run at once, without writing a file:

Hello from a native program

• The runtime, memory, tasks and printing, is linked into the file: there is no virtual machine to install.
• kavach run --native compiles to machine code in memory and runs it at once, without writing a file.
• Building needs the system's linker: the C++ Build Tools on Windows, a C compiler on Linux and macOS.
• Windows and Linux are tested on every change; macOS is written but not yet tested.

On Windows, an executable needs nothing to be installed: only the Universal C runtime, which every Windows from 10 on has. It doesn't need the Visual C++ runtime (VCRUNTIME140.dll).
