|
|
|
Implementation of Unlambda, an esoteric programming language.
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
The U6a project provides a bytecode compiler and a runtime system for the [Unlambda](http://www.madore.org/~david/programs/unlambda/) programming language.
|
|
|
|
Ideas behind this implementation can be found [here](https://git.cismon.net/esolangs/u6a/wiki/Developer%27s-Notes-on-Implementing-Unlambda).

|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
To install U6a from source, see [INSTALL](INSTALL).
|
|
|
|
Usage (See [**u6ac**(1)](man/u6ac.1) and [**u6a**(1)](man/u6a.1) man pages for details):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Compile an Unlambda source file into bytecode.
|
|
u6ac -o foo.unl.bc foo.unl
|
|
# Execute the bytecode file.
|
|
u6a foo.unl.bc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Future Plans
|
|
|
|
* Interactive debugger: `u6adb`
|
|
* More compile-time optimizations
|
|
* More test cases
|
|
* LLVM backend for `u6ac`
