  • C3 v0.1.3

    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.

    Usage

    Compilation

    git clone https://git.kmx.io/c3-lang/c3.git
    cd c3
    git submodule init
    git submodule update
    ./configure
    make

    Running the tests

    make test
    make test_asan

    Running gdb

    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.

    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.

    c3s

    Script interpreter.
