# Garter

is an in-development programming language heavily influenced by
DarkBasic, x86 Assembly, JavaScript, Python, and C
and built from the ground-up on its own tooling and compiler toolchain

## Update (September 24, 2024)

Getting closer to having my prerelease, just finished moving so it's been a bit
but I just refactored a lot of the internals to make it a better _toolchain_.
If you're interested, I have info over on my website about
[how the toolchain works](https://modula.dev/design),
and the first pre-0.0.0 release is basically gonna look like
```
garter
↳ data
↳ locale
↳ assets
↳ cli
↳ args
↳ daisy
↳ frontends
↳ garter-gy24
↳ gasm
↳ garter
↳ backends
↳ gyb
↳ linker
↳ disassembler
↳ emitters
↳ linux
↳ x86 (32-bit)
↳ windows
↳ macos
↳ c-lang
↳ 64-bit
↳ 32-bit
↳ shared
↳ symtables
↳ string
↳ file i/o
↳ error and tui functions
```

## What's Included

Out of the box, Garter provides a compiler toolchain
[(compiler)](https://github.com/JohnAlexCO/garter)
[(assembler)](https://github.com/JohnAlexCO/gasm)
[(interpreter)](https://github.com/JohnAlexCO/gyb),
and a lightweight standard library comparable to glibc.
_Eventually_ Garter will also include additional libraries,
a [language server](https://github.com/JohnAlexCO/gyls),
and a [package manager](https://github.com/JohnAlexCO/gib).
Documentation will also be available over at [Modula.dev](https://modula.dev/garter)

## Implementation

Garter is being written entirely in
[gasm](https://github.com/JohnAlex.CO/gasm)(_Garter Assembly_)
by the combination of hand-written code and using C helper functions.
Once `garter.gasm` is written, it will be compiled to
executable binaries for 64-bit Windows, Linux, and MacOS,
as well a bytecode file that can be run in
[gyb](https://github.com/JohnAlexCO/gyb).

## Resources

__NOTE:__ There's a bug in the currently running version of [Weaver](https://modula.dev/weaver)
that is causing the `/garter` route that because certain browsers automagically add a `/` to
the end of the uri, and because of a small error in how uris are interally cast in the library,
causes an interal service error. If you navigate instead of `/garter?somequery`,
or just to `/documentation` instead, the pages should work correctly.
__I do plan to fix the bug in Weaver sometime soon, but finishing the assembler is my priority right now__.
