- schemescape 4y agoThe “digital prepper” aspect doesn’t appeal to me, but this sounds great for educational purposes. I’m especially curious about the “Almost C” compiler. I’ve been looking to implement a simple compiler (targeting subleq, for reasons that aren’t relevant here), but I haven’t been able to decide on an input language. Real C seems overkill, but many simpler languages have a lot of runtime/size overhead I’d like to avoid. I’d been looking at Small C and Oberon-2, but I haven’t dug into the details yet. If anyone has played within Dusk OS, or especially the Almost C compiler, I’d love to hear how the experience has been. Does Almost C it seem like a good fit for a low (run-time/size) overhead, but easy to implement compiler? Anyone able to contrast with Small C? Edit to clarify: I’m referring to the Almost C language, and not this specific implementation (which might even just translate to Forth—-I haven’t investigated it yet).
