C3 is a programming language with meta-programmation and a graph database embedded into the language. It aims to be the language for semantic programming, and programming the semantic web.
We are currently fundraising for the project to become real and there is a working prototype available at https://git.kmx.io/c3-lang/c3/, please see the https://www.kmx.io/en/donations.html page for helping out.
C3 is currently a programming language project, inspired by C, Elixir and Common Lisp. It could be described as C with Elixir modules, pattern matching, and a semantic object system. The idea is to plug modules, closures, pattern matching, a graph database and metaprogramming into C99 with an extremely small set of dependencies.
git clone https://git.kmx.io/c3-lang/c3.git
cd c3
git submodule init
git submodule update
./configure
make
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/libc3/.libs:$PWD/libffi/.libs
make test

make gdb_ic3
make gdb_test
C3 is implemented using libc3 a small C99 library implementing the core of the language.
The library includes a parser and an interpreter for C3 code in C structures.
Support for large integers provided by libtommath.
Support for C function calls provided by libffi.
Modules are saved as facts databases.
The parser is recursive descent.
The AST is represented as C3 data structures and can be meta-programmed in C.
Under development.
Interactive shell. Terminal I/O provided by linenoise.
Script interpreter.

## Usage
### Compilation
```sh
git clone https://git.kmx.io/c3-lang/c3.git
cd c3
git submodule init
git submodule update
./configure
make
```
### Add the sources to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
```sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/libc3/.libs:$PWD/libffi/.libs
```
### Running the tests
```sh
make test
```
### Running ic3
```sh
ic3/.libs/ic3
```
### Running gdb
```sh
make gdb_ic3
make gdb_test
```
## Structure
### libc3
C3 is implemented using libc3 a small C99 library implementing the core
of the language.
The library includes a parser and an interpreter for C3 code in C
structures.
Support for large integers provided by
[libtommath](https://github.com/libtom/libtommath).
Support for C function calls provided by
[libffi](https://github.com/libffi/libffi).
Modules are saved as facts databases.
#### Parser
The parser is recursive descent.
#### AST
The AST is represented as C3 data structures and can be meta-programmed
in C.
#### Interpreter
Under development.
### ic3
Interactive shell. Terminal I/O provided by
[linenoise](https://github.com/antirez/linenoise/tree/1.0).
### c3s
Script interpreter.
