A programming language that isn't Perl.

not-perl

A dumb language that isn't Perl.

Build and use

1. Install rust
2. Run cargo check to make sure it builds correctly
3. Run cargo run -- examples/blocks.npl to watch the compiler break

More examples in examples/.

If you build and get lifetime errors, switch to nightly with rustup override set nightly and enable non-lexical lifetimes in main.rs by uncommenting #![feature(nll)] at the top, and try to build it again.

Shame statistics

To generate shame statistics, you can run these commands:

grep -R src/ -e 'unimplemented\|TODO' | wc -l

This is roughly the square root of the number of hours of technical debt payoff I have created for myself.

Disclaimer

If you're reading this, the compiler VM doesn't work.
