# [GOLEM](https://kdx.re/cgit/golem)

Work in progress bytecode language created by and for [kdx](https://kdx.re).

[Follow progress on kdx.re/cgit.](https://kdx.re/cgit/golem)

State: lexing and parsing done, I now need to define a bytecode format and spit
it out.

```golem
// Focus is on having a simple toolchain to build onto.
// For this reason, MVP syntax should stay as simple as possible.
// The weird mixture of C and Lisp is a feature, I swear.

// Global scope is initialized to zero.
let g_heap;
let g_another g_one;

main argc argv {
	let hello;
	let world;

	g_heap = 8000;
	hello = (strdup "bonjour");;;
	[hello 6] = 'w';
	world = (strdup "monde");
	(print hello);
	(print " ");
	(print world);

	return 0;
}

alloc size {
	let ptr;

	ptr = g_heap;
	g_heap = (add g_heap size);

	return heap;
}

strdup str {
	let dest;
	let i;

	dest = (alloc (add [str 0] 1));

	i = 0;
	while (lesseq i [str 0]) {
		let smile please;

		[dest i] = [str i];
		i = (add i 1);
	}

	return dest;
}

print str {
	let i;

	i = 1;
	while (lesseq i [str 0]) {
		(putchar [str i]);
		i = (add i 1);
	}

	return 0;
}
```
