ink

ink is a minimalistic interpreted programming language, tentatively implemented exclusively in C98. It features coroutines and can currently only manipulate integers. Part of the code may not be compliant with C98 and I will try to fix that in time.

It is fully self-contained and doesn't rely on a working standard library beyond the following:

  • malloc
  • realloc
  • free
  • putchar

To make the library not use the standard library, build it with NOSTDLIB defined as a preprocessor directive.

All of these functions need to work for ink to work. It is easy to add new functions to the interpreter. In the future, I will add a garbage collector to handle cleaning dynamically allocated resources.
