About

KernRift is a zero-dependency self-hosted compiler. The package installs two portable command-line tools — krc (the compiler) and kr (the fat-binary runner). It compiles to native x86_64 and ARM64 binaries for Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android. The compiler is written entirely in KernRift itself and produces ELF, PE, Mach-O, and fat binaries.
