2 Introduction ¶

The glados is a third year Epitech project where five people are asked to build a new programming language.

Who never had problems with a programming language ? Who never thought of building it’s own ? Who never imagined a language so litteral, that anyone could use it without technical knowledge ?

Introducing: the Franc C. The Franc C is a programming language with a litteral french syntax.

In this project, we built five different things.

• The Franc C language itself, defining it’s grammar and application
• A bytecode associated with the Franc C, used to run Franc C Programs
• A virtual machine reference, used to dictate how the bytecode should be executed.
• The Franc C Compiler, a tool used to compile Franc C Reference code into a Franc C Program
• The Franc C Virtual Machine, a tool used to run Franc C Program on any computer.
• The Larousse, a library of Franc C Reference code used to help Franc C programmers with some basic utilitarian functions

We chose to implement everything in the Haskell programming language, because it offers great parsing capabilities and perfect security. The functionnal paradigm is perfect for a compiler implementation as all cases must be treated, and it is easy to test with the HUnit testing library.
