Hel: huangho's Experimental Language

This is a simple, quick-and-dirty compiler from a simple Lisp-like language to C, written in Guile Scheme.

Installing and running

You will need:

• GNU Guile, version 2.0 or above (package guile-2.0 on Debian);
• A C compiler (I've been testing with GCC, but Clang seems to work fine too, if you change runhel.sh appropriately);
• The Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector library (package libgc-dev on Debian).

Currently only 64-bit architectures are supported (and I've only tested on x86-64 so far).

src/compile.scm is a Guile program which takes two arguments: a Hel file to compile and the name of the resulting C file.

If you just want to run a Hel program, you can call src/runhel.sh file.hel; it will compile the Hel file to C, call GCC on it, and run the resulting binary.
