README
Kempe
Kempe is a stack-based language and toy compiler for x86_64 and aarch64. It requires the nasm assembler when targeting x86_64.
Inspiration is primarily from Mirth.
See manual here. There is also a tour of the compiler available here.
Installation
Installation is via cabal-install:
cabal install kempe
For shell completions put the following in your ~/.bashrc
or
~/.bash_profile
:
eval "$(kc --bash-completion-script kc)"
Defects
- Errors don't have position information
Monomorphization fails on recursive polymorphic functions
Hopefully this isn't too sinful; I can't think of any examples of recursive polymorphic functions
Can't export or call C functions with more than 6 arguments; can't call or export large arguments (i.e. structs) passed by value.
This is less of an impediment than it sounds like.
Cyclic imports are not detected
Imports are kind of defective
Comparison
You may wish to use Mirth or Factor instead. Mirth is statically typed (similar to Kempe) but less mature.
