Rosemary

A blend of Python and C. Transpiled to C

• Check out /examples for more use cases!
• Lead dev werdl is away for a week so no pushing for a while!

Why use Rosemary?

Ease of use

• You can write short, efficient code

  Download the Visual Studio Code extension which makes your code colourful and includes IntelliSense for you to code faster.

• Easy for both Python, Ruby, C and Java programmers to approach

Speed

• It is very fast (Takes <50 ms to compile to C)
• The program below takes 13ms to compile.

ints a,b,c
while a<1 {
    print "Enter number of scores: "
    input a
}
if a<=2 {
    print "a is 2"
}
floats s
print "Enter one value at a time: "
while b<a {
    input c
    s+=c
    b++
}
print "Mean: "
print s/a

Code insertion

• You can insert C directly into your program!

Syntax

Rosemary	C	Python
if x>=1 { print "hi" }	if (x>=1) { printf("hi"); }	if x>=1: print("hi")
float a = 0 while x>2 { input a print a }	float a = 0; while (x>2) { scanf("%f",&a); printf("%d",a); }	while x>2: a=float(input()) print(a)
loop 10 { print "hi" }	for (int x=0;x<10;x++) { printf("hi"); }	for x in range(10): print("hi")
int x=0 extern "x=3;" // c in rsmy print x	int x=0; x=3; // using c in c printf("%d",x);	# Not possible
int x=0 x+=1 print x	int x=0; x+=1; print x;	x=0; x+=1; print(x);
strings x input x if "hi"==x { # note yoda notation print "Hello","There" //HelloThere }	char * f=malloc(8192); scanf("%s", f) if(!strcmp(f,"gh")){ printf("Hello\n"); }	x=str(input()) if x=="hi": print("Hello")
func x(int xz,int yz) -> int{ int result=xz*yz print result ret result }	int x(int xz, int yz) { int result=xz*yz; printf("%d",result); return result; }	def x(xz: int,yz: int) -> int: result=xz*yz print(result) return result

Types: The list

Float

• Floating point decimal number
• Equivalent to C's float

Int

• Integer
• Equivalent to <stdint.h>'s int64_t

String

• String
• Equivalent to C's char *
• No segfaults (you hope)

Website

• Is autogenerated from markdown with md.py
• No cmd line arguments needed
• Will write to docs/index.html
• Also uses python markdown extension
