OMG! CURSED is like, THE MOST iconic programming language that's giving major Go grammar vibes but with Gen Z slang for the keywords?! 💅 It's literally a self-compiling compiler written in Rust and I'm obsessed! 😍
CURSED is lowkey based on Go's practical design but like, replaces all those boring programming keywords with Gen Z slang that slaps so hard! It's such a vibe while still being fully functional, no cap! 🙌
CURSED now supports next-level generic programming with:
- Type Parameters: Write code that works with multiple types (
squad Container<T>) - Constraint System: Ensure type safety with powerful constraints (
where T: Clone + Display) - Zero-Cost Abstractions: Generics compile to optimized native code
- Advanced Features: Higher-kinded types, associated types, and variance support
Check out the Generics Guide for the full tea! ☕
CURSED features powerful type switches for handling interface values:
- Runtime Type Checking: Branch based on actual types (
vibe_check value.(type)) - Variable Binding: Automatic type casting with
v := value.(type) - Multiple Types: Handle related types in single cases (
mood int, int32, int64:) - Interface Integration: Seamless work with interface hierarchies
Check out the Type Switch Guide and Tutorial! 🔥
Example CURSED code (it ATE and left no crumbs):
vibe main
yeet "vibez"
slay main() {
vibez.spill("Hello, World!") fr fr This is a comment
sus name tea = "bestie"
vibez.spillf("Hey %s, what's good?", name)
lowkey 1 < 2 {
vibez.spill("This is based!")
} highkey {
vibez.spill("This is sus!")
}
}
CURSED is literally built different with this bootstrapping compiler approach:
- Stage 0: Bootstrap environment setup using Rust (so basic but necessary) 🙄
- Stage 1: Minimal bootstrap compiler in Rust (starting to serve) 👀
- Stage 2: Full compiler written in CURSED (the main character energy) ⭐
- Stage 3: Self-compiled full compiler (iconic behavior) 💁♀️
/src: Compiler source code (core behavior, pretty much carrying) 💅/specs: Language specifications and docs (the rulebook, very that) 📝/examples: Example CURSED programs (slay examples) ✨/tests: Test suite for the compiler (we don't flop, we test) ✅
- Rust toolchain (1.54.0 or later) ⚙️
- Cargo 📦
make build
make test
make run ARGS="path/to/your/file.csd"
CURSED comes with a built-in formatter that makes your code look absolutely iconic:
# Format a single file
cursed-fmt -w main.csd
# Format entire project
cursed-fmt -w src/
# Check if formatting is needed (perfect for CI)
cursed-fmt --check src/The formatter supports customizable styling through .cursed-fmt.toml config files. It's giving consistency! 💅
- Auto-formatting: Makes your code look clean and consistent
- Editor integration: Works with VSCode, Vim, and more
- CI/CD support: Perfect for automated checks
- Customizable: Configure to match your team's style
Quick start:
# Install the formatter
make build-formatter
# Format your code
cursed-fmt -w .
# Set up pre-commit hooks
