XY Programming Language

Section titled “XY Programming Language”

XY is an experimental programming language. This repository is a C++11 implementation of an XY compiler. The code is not particularly pretty, but it gets the job done.

The syntax of XY is a mix between JavaScript, C, C++, Haskell, and Python.

Types in XY are structurally defined. I intend to have both inductive and co-inductive data types. The XY compiler will check the well-typedness of programs statically (i.e. at compile time).

Requirements

Section titled “Requirements”

A relatively recent version of the GCC, Clang, or the Intel® C++ XE Studio. The compiler is implemented using some features of C99 and C++11, e.g. variadic templates, variadic macros, r-value references, etc.

Downloading the Coding

Reporting Bugs / Compiler Errors

Section titled “Reporting Bugs / Compiler Errors”

I usually compile the XY compiler on my computer and on a Linux box. This leaves much to be desired in terms of portability. If you run into a compiler error a runtime error, then please post them here or email them to i@petergoodman.me. Thank you!
