A type-safe, interpreted, procedural, object oriented language intended to be a subset of C/C++ syntax. Cx intended use is aimed towards system administrative tasks, and network programmability.
#include stdio
using std;
int main(){
puts("Hello, World!");
return 0;
}Popular compilers which support C++11 are used to build the Cx interpreter.
- clang++
- g++4.7 or later
- VS 2012 express
Cx language features are restricted to the C++11 standard library and will compile on OSX, Linux, and Windows. Any features deemed platform specific will be implemented in dynamic libraries which can be loaded at run-time.
All documentation will be posted and updated at the link below. More information may be found in Cx/doc
