The Kraken Programming Language is in its infancy.
Currently, it consists of a RNGLALR parser written in C++, an experimental grammer that is evolving, and a C code generator.
When compiled, the kraken compiler will take in a text file to be parsed, the grammer file to use, and an output file name.
Kraken will then generate the RN parsing tables from the grammer OR load them from a binary file if Kraken has been run with this exact version of the grammer before. Then it will parse the input and export DOT files for every .krak file in the project (these can be renderd into a graph using Graphviz), a C file for every file in the project, and a .sh script containing the compiler command to compile the C files together into a binary.

The Kraken Programming Language is functional but very much still in development.
Currently, it consists of a RNGLALR parser written in C++, an AST intermediate representation, and a C code generator.
When compiled, the kraken compiler will take in a text file to be parsed and optionally the grammer file to use and an output file name.
Kraken will then generate the RNLALR parsing tables from the grammer or load them from a binary file if Kraken has been run with this exact version of the grammer before. Then it will parse the input and export one .c and .h file along with a .sh script containing the compiler command to compile the C files together into a binary.
It is invoked in this way:
