The current Mesham compiler is mainly written in FlexibO, using Java to preprocess the source code. Whilst this combination is flexible it is not particularly efficient in the compilation phase. To this end we are looking to reimplement the compiler in C. This reimplementation will allow us to combine all aspects of the compiler in one package, remove depreciated implementation code, clean up aspects of the compilation process, fix compiler bugs and provide a structured framework from which types can fit in.
Like previous versions of the compiler, the results will be completely portable.
This page will be updated with news and developments in relation to this new compiler implementation.
