Cobalt

NOTICE Cobalt is heavily indevelopment, read the bottom of this file for a TODO.

Cobalt is a language based on Lua, LJS, and Pluto aiming to be a language that can fill many tasks, a low-level language like C++, a quick and easy language like python, and a lightweight language like Lua.

Add to docs:

• SDL bindings (optional) for 2D graphics
• Memory optimizations
• type system (typechecker in preprocessor)
• preprocessor
• switch, case, default
• Real OOP with class, parent, extends, new, and of
• allocation tracker (track bytes and pool allocator stats)
• Easy interface to get device information device, device.specs().CPU, etc
• C API extended to allow C datastructures to be posted to Cobalt without needing to be wrapped
• lpeg-labels built in
• $ismethod & $isstatic
• Errors

Tested on:

• MacOS (multiple configurations)
• Linux (multiple, and extreme configurations)

Todo:

• Default args
• Named args
• Switch statements
• OOP (extends, parent, new, of all lexer prebuilding operators)
• Typechecker
• LS
• try & catch
