A statically typed concatenative programming language.

The Kitten Programming Language

Kitten is a statically typed, stack-based functional programming language designed for simplicity, speed, and safety. This is an in-progress implementation of that language, including:

• An interactive console for testing code.

• An interpreter.

• A compiler targeting C99.

• Browse some examples.

• Skim a quick intro.

• Read a (work in progress) tutorial.

Building

To build the compiler, you need GHC 7.10. Simply run:

git clone https://github.com/evincarofautumn/kitten.git
cd kitten
make

You can run the integration tests concurrently with make -jn, where n is the number of concurrent jobs. If you are working on the compiler, you can use make dev to avoid checking the library dependencies on every rebuild.
