co2

This repository contains the following Open Source projects

libco2: object system library for C (LGPL)
libco2-base: library with basic datatypes for libco2 (LGPL)
carbon: compiler and programming language for libco2 (GPL)

History

These projects started out as an experiment to investigate how to do Object Oriented Programming (OOP) in plain C. After some experiments and several redesigns I came up with a small library that evolved into what now is libco2.

I used libco2 for several experiments. These experiments include a lexical analyzer, a configuration file parser, a sudoku solver and a raytracer.

Then I realized that without the syntactic sugar of the libco2 library I could develop faster. So I started to create the carbon compiler and programming language. carbon is of course created with libco2.
