Elijah programming language/system

mainline-k

Elijah is a high-level language suitable for replacement of C/C++ and Java. (And of course any other language in existence or non-existence, except FORTRAN and NULL.)

Just so you know, dear reader, most of the problems this project tries (or is intended to solve) are already solved; and the rest are being worked on by people wearing much better smelling cologne than I. <tmi> I don't recall any specific compliments about my cologne, but I don't do it for other people. *I* like it. </tmi>

Mandatory FSF blurb

This is free software intended for on all systems, including GNU/Linux.

Goals (for mainline-k)

  1. Provide a safe space to test UT_Controller and friends. (This is the 'k' I think. Don't ask.)

Goals (for fluffy-umbrella)

  1. To constantly drive the code toward an expression of the domain rather than an expression of the programming language-specific expression of that domain.

Goals (for Elijah Language)

  1. Integrate into current C and Java projects. Piecemeal replacement down to the function level.

  2. Don't interrupt current workflows too much. (It's like it's not even there, but things are better...)

  3. Mainly "not" to have to learn Kotlin.

Goals (for Elijah Programming System)

  1. Sharable, live, interactive notebooks along the lines of Jupyter.

  1. Cool incremental/instant compilation.

  2. A pretty development environment a la Glamorous Toolkit, especially the custom views.

Status

`mainline-k` uses gradle for now. Maven fails sometimes. Gradle fails sometimes. Kotlin fails sometimes. Eclipse fails sometimes. Idea was great when it didn't try to be so pretty. It does look nice though... Annotation processing fails all the time. Personal projects keep going.

Idea should "always" give you a good experience. dev branches will contain work in progress, things that don't work because the gods are angry, etc.

git clone https://github.com/elijah-team/fluffy-umbrella -b mainline-k
cd fluffy-umbrella
./gradlew test
# or:
nix-shell -p gradle jdk17 --pure
gradle test

Much work is needed, same as always.
