What ChatGPT thinks of kc3-lang.org
What KC3 is
- KC3 is an experimental programming language that grafts a graph database / triple‑store directly into a C‑like core. It pitches itself as “C11 with a triple store” and aims to make semantic programming—i.e., code that can reason over linked data—an everyday thing.
-
The language mixes ideas from C, Elixir (modules & pattern matching)
and Common Lisp (macros, named blocks,
return-from, etc.). Every KC3 function can also be emitted as a plain C function, and the standard library itself is pure C11.
What you’ll find on the site
| Section | What it contains | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Home page | One‑paragraph elevator pitch, links to the latest release (v0.1.14), docs, and a donation appeal. | Sets the context and invites funding. |
Documentation (/en/doc/) |
Three big trees<br>1. KC3 core – 30‑odd topics (Arrays, Ratio, Facts, Pattern‑matching, etc.)<br>2. HTTPd – docs for the built‑in web server.<br>3. Guides – Install (from source only), Testing (huge test‑suite), Usage, Tutorial. | Shows the language surface and how to run it; gives a feel for its “C + semantic DB” design. |
| Releases | Tarballs for every tagged version; the site itself is regenerated by KC3 for each release. | Lets you grab a snapshot or browse historical docs. |
| Git forge links |
Points to the self‑hosted repo on git.kmx.io and a GitHub mirror. The README gives deeper detail (components, supported OS/CPU, TODO). |
Source, issues, and development roadmap live here. |
| Community | Discord invite, mail contact. | Gathering place for early adopters / contributors. |
Current status & roadmap
-
Prototype stage. The interpreter/library (
libkc3), REPL (ikc3), script runner (kc3s) and web‑server (kc3_httpd) all build and run, but the authors flag performance tuning and many language features as “coming when funds allow.” - Latest stable: v0.1.14 (Feb 11 2025); dev head: v0.1.15 on Git.
-
Planned work (from TODO): richer control structures (
when,unless,switch), macro system tweaks, livebook‑style notebooks, better error handling, and more database primitives.
Why it’s interesting
KC3 blurs the line between program and knowledge base: every value is a node in the built‑in graph store, so queries and updates are just language primitives. If you live in both C‑land and RDF/SPARQL‑land, KC3 is a novel experiment worth watching.
