Stackyy

A stack based, virtual machine language written in Rust

Description:

Stackyy is a stack based, virtual machine language inspired by Forth and Porth.

Usage:

1. Download the repo
2. Run cargo run -- --help for a list of all commands

Building for release:

To use the standard optimizations run cargo build --release.
If the binary size is unsatifying run cargo build --profile=release-opt

ToDo:

• Parsing completed
• Basic language features
• Type checking
• Control flow (e.g. if while etc.) (Implemented via conditional functions])
• Functions
• Reflection (creating function handles from scratch)
• Included libraries (e.g. processes, io etc.)
• Speed up parsing
• Compiling to byte code and running

Maybe

• Compile to ELF
• Self-hosted

Create your own Stackyy program:

To create your own Stackyy program you need:

1. A working Stackyy binary (see Building for release)
2. A path to put your projects into
3. To run ./stacky new --name [your project name] --path [your project path]
