cstml / FMCt

Functional Machine Calculus typed. A programming language based on the FMC paper, developed from scratch for a Dissertation project.

FMCt

Project archived, and used as inspiration for the development of a different take on a similar, yet different language: Space.

Typed Functional Machine Calculus.

Apps Available:

At the moment there are two ways of interacting with the FMCt type derivators:

1. a CLI app: fmct-exe
2. a web interface: fmct-web

Running

To run any of the two apps, add their name to cabal new-run. For example: cabal new-run fmct-exe

Building

To build there are two ways, depending on which you prefer. Note that both are valid for UNIX systems. As it stands, there is no defined way of building on windows except for the normal cabal new-build.

With Nix

1. pull the repo,
2. run: nix-build,
3. you now have access to both executables in /result

With Cabal

1. pull the repo,
2. run: cabal new-run FMCt-web,
3. you are locally serivng the FMCt-web at port 8080
4. if your port is busy, set the FMCt-web to serve at a new port by setting export PORT=8082 to 8082 or whichever port you want to serve from.

With GNUMake

Have a look inside the makefile for useful commands.

Documentation

To create the documentation you need to run make documentation.

FMCt-web

The FMCt-web is a web interface for the FMCt where people can try out the language and its type checker without having to install anything.

There's also a CI/CD which deploys the main branch to this website.
