Elysabettian is a simple, fast C++17 implementation of the Elysabettian programming language.
Elysabettian is a small footprint scripting language which aims at ease of use without much penalty on overall performance.
Elysabettian uses a JavaScript-like syntax, with dyanmic types. As of today, objects, strings, numbers and nullable types are supported. Future releases of the language will aim to improve functionalities without implementing any breaking change.
To download and install Elysabettian you need to have git and cmake installed on your operating system, as well as a fully compliant C++17 compiler. This Virtual Machine uses std::variant to store internal data types, and so the compiler needs to be fully compliant with the C++17 standard.
In order to compile this code, you will need vcpkg installed on your machine, and setup correctly. This is needed to install fmt, which is the only dependency that this project needs. To install fmt, run the setup script for your operating system, available in the scripts directory.
To build the code, create a build directory for CMake, cd into it and run cmake .. --preset=<Preset Name>. Available presets are Debug and Release.
The goals of this programming language are simple: improve C++ proficiency and make the understanding of programming languages simpler to Computer Science novices.
