Look, I couldn't even come up with a name for this project, nonetheless, hopefully it turns into something.
Look at the 'code' tree to figure how how the language works.
This project is unreleased, meaning that it is not meant for public consumption, yet... aka use at your own risk.
There are many incomplete features, and spurious code sprinkled here and there, but the core structure is fine and the code is nicely organized.
This project is ideal for those interested in a minimalist, embeddable scripting language, written in vanilla C.
lang has pretty standard and minimalist syntax, ideal for getting stuff done quickly.
table = {1,2,3}
// call pf, printf
pf(table) \\ {1,2,3}
add3 = fun(x,y,z) ? { leave x + y + z }
add3(1,2,3)
We have fairly primitive support for the typical stuff you'd expect from a dynamically typed language.
But then again, the only dynamically typed language I've ever used is this one.
-
Can we figure out a name for this language? Ideally 3-5 letters.
-
Help me port this, see lsys.h for list of functions that need porting.
-
Can we extend corelib please?
-
Explicit stack state in code generation, both for safety and future optimizations...
-
Can we borrow some features of SSA to figure out the types of expressions at compile time to generate slightly more optimized bytecode?
-
Figure out the garbage collector and memory stuff, spurious code alert.
-
Can we get some machine code generation?
-
Add native multi-threading support, break the language entirely and start from scratch again.
