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.
