Programing language that compiles to C.

Primary LanguageTypeScript

Ekalang

Ekalang is a simple programming language that can be interpreted during the development phase and then compiled into C. Its goal is to make small programs in C without problems of pointers or memory and without having to recompile each time the program.

You can start testing the language on the online IDE

This repository contains:

  • the compiler (transpiler) library written in js with typescript
  • The online IDE / playground to test code without downloading the CLI
  • The VSCode extension to get the syntaxic coloration
  • The CLI of the compiler

Example

Print every number between 0 to 10

init int index
affect index 0
print string "Looping from 0 to 10"
while LE index 10
 print int index
 affect index ADD 1 index
end
