This is Chlore - a stack-oriented programming language that's made with a focus on simplicity.
Philosophy behind the development of Chlore:
- If it takes 10 rereads to interpret it right, it should NOT make it into the language
- Do not add features just for the sake of it
- Do not specify unnecessary details in the name of "portability"
- Guarantees are fine, so long as an addition is not expected to summon elephants
A simple Hello World program written in a standard compliant implementation of Chlore1:
import "stdlib.chloreh"
import "io.chloreh"
import "exit.chloreh"
:main
pushp "Hello, World!\n"
pushp putstr call
pushp phclean call
hlt
If you're curious about how the language looks like, you can check the grammar.txt file, which contains a summary of the syntax of Chlore.
A language specification is extremely important for the development of a language, and Chlore has a (WIP) standard too. A link to the standard will be put here soon.
Implementations of Chlore:
