The goal of the project
I could formulate the goal as "to have traditional static-typed language on the Web". But more realistically it is: to built my own compiler (never did it before but always wanted). Also I wanted to [[experiment|Eberon]] with my own language.
How to use
You can use the project as any other JavaScript library. There is no third-party dependencies. The project is developing using nodejs so you may have some additional operations to accommodate nodejs source modules in your project. All source code is under src/ folder. Compiler entry point is oc.js.
Usage examples
You can try the compiler online here. You can compile more than one module at a time: modules should be separated by spaces or new lines and imported modules should be placed before dependent ones. To build a test html page locally and see how it works run build.cmd (Python 2.x or 3.x is required). It will make _out/os.js (glued nodejs modules) and _out/oberonjs.html. Open oberonjs.html in the browser and try the compiler!
State of development
- Proof of concept: Oberon modules compile to JavaScript and can be executed in web browser.
- No SYSTEM module.
- All included tests are passing.
- Please report bugs or any deviations from language report.
