SixtyPical

SixtyPical is a very low-level programming language, similar to 6502 assembly, with static analysis through abstract interpretation.

In practice, this means it catches things like

you forgot to clear carry before adding something to the accumulator
a subroutine that you call trashes a register you thought was preserved

and suchlike.

It is a work in progress, currently at the proof-of-concept stage.

The current version is 0.2-PRE. It is a complete reboot of SixtyPical 0.1. The reference implementation is written in Python instead of Haskell. The language is much simpler — we're going to try to get the analysis completely right before adding more sophisticated and useful features.
