Slang

The "simple" lang...

Slang is a purposefully weird, toy scripting language that seeks to evaluate basic programs in a REPL environment that can take user input, or a file, and run it. Influences are raw-text notes, shopping/todo lists, (Intel syntax) Assembly, Gravity, HolyC, Ocaml, Pseudocode, and Nim.

Requirements

Default development environment: OpenBSD (amd64) with default cc (clang). C99-capable C compiler.

Dependencies

There are no external dependencies, though the following C libs are used:

• stdio.h
• stdlib.h
• string.h

Building

The build system currently uses ksh, though the script is intended to be minimalistic to work on other shells as well. It'll eventually mosey on over to make but for now, meh...

cc main.c -o slang or ./make.sh

Modifying

To quickly change the syntax of slang to meet yer likin', edit the barrage of #define statements in the slang_syntax.h file.
