The Kraken Programming Language
|
|
|
|
The Kraken Programming Language is in its infancy.
|
|
Currently, it consists of a RNGLALR parser written in C++ and a very experimental grammer that is evolving quickly.
|
|
When compiled, the kraken program (as it is not yet a compiler) will take in a text file to be parsed, the grammer file to use, and a filename to output a DOT file to.
|
|
Kraken will then generate the RN parsing tables from the grammer and then parse the input and export a DOT file that can be renderd into a graph using Graphviz.
|
|
|
|
It is invoked in this way:
|
|
kraken inputTextFile inputGrammerFile outputFile.dot
|
|
|
|
It is built using CMake, which is also its only dependency.
|
|
|
|
It has the following design goals:
|
|
-Compiled
|
|
-Clean
|
|
-Fast (both running and writing)
|
|
-Good for Systems (including Operating Systems) programming
|
|
-Minimal "magic" code. (no runtime, other libraries automatically included)
|
|
|
|
It is inspired by C/C++, Python, and Go.
