  • C3

    C3 is a programming language, inspired by C, Elixir and Common Lisp. It could be described as C with Elixir macros and pattern matching, and an embedded graph database for a fully indexed object system.

    The idea is to plug macros and pattern matching into C89 and use them to implement a graph database for a semantic object system.

    The garbage collector is optional, like in C.

    defmodule C3 do
  def compile (c3, opts) when is_string(c3) do
    c3
    |> C3.parse(opts)
    |> C3.to_assembly(opts)
    |> C3.compile(opts)
  end
end

    Structure

    libc3

    C3 is implemented using libc3 a small C89 library implementing the core of the language.

    The library includes a parser and an interpreter for C3 code in C structures.

    Parser

    The parser is recursive descent for now.

    AST

    The AST is represented as C3 data structures and can be meta-programmed in C.

    Interpreter

    The interpreter is under development by kmx.io . Please get in touch on discord if you are interested.
