Registration Details


  • Name: The L language
  • System Name:  l-lang
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License V2 or later





Description:

My project is the implementation of a novel language, L.
L takes features from C and Lisp: it has low-level capabilities (like pointer
handling) like C, and high-level macros like Lisp.
However, unlike Lisp, L is statically and strongly typed (and the macros
can take advantage of type information).

L uses a conventional syntax, like C, but is an extensible language, like
Lisp. Even the syntax can be redefined dynamically; this allows
to write code that mixes different syntaxes like:

XML_Node test(void) {
let node = XML(<foo>bar baz ${3 + 4}</foo>); print(node); node}

For examples, see the regression_test/ directory.

The current implementation is written in C, but L should be self-hosting.
The compiler is dynamic and outputs x86 code in memory;
I'm also writing a L->C converter. It also features a dynamic lexer
generator, that compiles a list of regexpes into assembly.

L is now mature enough to accept contributions; I'm in the process of
cleaning up the code for helping people to contribute. The following
URL (http://racin.free.fr/L.tgz) points to a not-yet-cleaned implementation,
but I give it to you now so that it will be cleaned when you have finished
the review process.

L is licensed under the Lesser GPL, version 2 or later.



Other Software Required:

GNU lightning
