Kit Programming Language

A powerful and expressive systems and application programming language that compiles to C.

The Kit playground is now up at https://t.co/9FtpUmlWdg - compiles Kit code to JS via Emscripten, then runs it in your browser. #kitlang

@KitLanguage This seems like a good language for @32blit 🤔

Up until now when I said #kitlang could run in the browser via Emscripten, I was speaking hypothetically...now it's actually, officially supported:

Just added cross-compile and custom toolchain support to #kitlang, making it easier to use for embedded platforms. Tested with arduino and a GameCube homebrew toolchain. Working on a writeup for the blog.

The #kitlang compiler can now be installed on Mac/Linux from pre-built macOS, .deb and .rpm packages - thanks to @kit_plummer for the contribution! Instructions available at: https://t.co/mLEnoEvC3r

#kitlang now supports procedural macros! Write code from your macro to stdout, and it'll be parsed and compiled as part of the parent program. Macros can execute arbitrary code to generate or extend type/trait definitions, "derive" traits automatically, etc.

Released the source of my very in-progress NES emulator written in Kit: https://t.co/QokTJYpSVU - some remaining issues which I don't know when I'll get around to fixing, but worked well for a proof of concept of what writing Kit is really like at this point

[Ben Morris @bendmorris]

Getting there! #kitlang

[Ben Morris @bendmorris]

To answer some common questions, I started a Wiki page comparing Kit to other languages in the space: https://t.co/d4Fhfu4I9N Additions/corrections welcome.

[Ben Morris @bendmorris]

Appreciate all the interest in Kit today. There's a lot more to be done! If you've ever wanted to contributed to an open source programming language, you'd be welcome to join in and there's plenty to do!
