Picol as Pico-Language

1 Pico-L is 10^-12L, a tiny volume that can hold only a small neuron.

In this project, a minimal C-like language is to be implemented for demonstrative purpose. Since the language is so trivial that it is inadequate for any real world application, this language is named as PicoL(Pico-Language, where "pico-" is 10^-12).

Picol as Pictorial Illustrated Compiler Organization by Layer

Pico Playground for Picol

Pictorial Illustrated Compiler Organization by Layer is a serials of interactive applications that illustrates the construction of a simple compiler (of the PicoL).

Usage

# compile and execute core CLI
npm run core "src-file.picol"

# watching code changes for core module
npm run dev:core

# watching code changes for UI module
npm run dev

# build UI module
npm run build

Road map

Currently, this project is still in progress. Some of unimplemented features are listed below.

• Core Module (PicoL)
  • Language specification
  • Quadruple generator static type checking
  • Executor dynamic type checking
  • Reference to array implementation
  • Symbol management for nested context
  • More complete CLI
• UI (PICOL)
  • Memory view for sparse array in JavaScript
  • Mobile screen adaption
