Imperative self-hosted programming language

Programming Language 0

WARNING: This language is work in progress and will be for a long time.

The first goal of this project is to create language that is self-hosted, with not to much noise around this task. For this reason language will be as simple as is reasonable for me.

// Returns 42 from the program
fun exit {
	#syscall(60, 42)
}

fun main {
	exit()
}

Goals and plans

• Compiled
• Structured
• Turing Complete
• Self-hosted

Content

• pl0.cc: C++ implementation of the language, used for creating language before self-hosted compiler
• test.cc: Simple test runner

Trivia

• Current name refers to fact, that this will be my first self hosted programming language
• Test expected format is inspired by Porth
