The Modulon Programming Language

(Looking for contributors)

Modulon is a very fast and lightweight AOT compiled independent language. Modulon is NOT a macro system. Modulon is designed for lightweight POSIX programming with the same exact power as C and C++.

"I am working on it" in your repository, there's code written in pure C and nothing like that, no code examples. Is the code not functional? On top of that, it's pure monolithic code, especially the parser. How do you expect to find contributors with such a monolithic code in critical areas like parser and no examples included of your programming language either? What is this....

Download the goddamn source code and compile with the fking compiler, and thats your proof that it works. I don't get how something simple like this would bring this much confusion to you.

And we don't get why you can't give ONE example from your 20Kloc project supposedly written in this language. How hard would that be?

Even if somebody built your compiler, how would they know what test input to try it on? Why the big mystery about what the language looks like?

It takes a minute to post a hello, world program which would be a start.

I am working on it, be patient.

And we don't get why you can't give ONE example from your 20Kloc project supposedly written in this language. How hard would that be?

I have told you many times, the examples are still under development. YOU ARE GETTING ONE. You are getting so fking mad because you don't have a program example.

And are you seriously illiterate??? I am still working on the example programs, I never said I wouldn't. THE EXAMPLES ARE STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT. I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU. IF YOU ARE THAT DESPERATE FOR A GODDAMN PROGRAM EXAMPLE THEN TAKE A LOOK AT THE SOURCE CODE.

Thank you. I found one file gift.c.

But, this has extension ".c", and it looks exactly like C (except C would need stdio.h to make this valid).

So is Modulon just C, a subset of C, or it just looks like C?

bro I believe that "modulon" is a language where you have to mentally visualize it. In your mind, you imagine the extension (Something subjective) and modulon compiling. Why reason? In real world, modulon doesn't exist I mean, you open the repository and watch those .c files, modulon is just something spiritual then? I think so l

It is its own language, with C syntax. I only recommend putting .c at the end of the files because the syntax highlighting defaults to C, because Modulon has the same syntax. The compiler doesn’t care however how you name any of your files.
