![lama](lama.svg) is a programming language developed by JetBrains Research for educational purposes as an exemplary language to introduce the domain of programming languages, compilers, and tools.
Its general characteristics are:
* procedural with first-class functions - functions can be passed as arguments, placed in data structures,
returned and "constructed" at runtime via closure mechanism;
* with lexical static scoping;
* strict - all arguments of function application are evaluated before function body;
* strict - all arguments of function application are evaluated before a function body;
* imperative - variables can be re-assigned, function calls can have side effects;
* untyped - no static type checking is performed;
* with S-expressions and pattern-matching;
* with user-defined infix operators, including those defined in local scopes;
* with automatic memory management (garbage collection).
The name ![lama](lama.svg) is an acronym for *Lambda-Algol* since the language has borrowed the syntactic shape of
operators from **Algol-68**; [**Haskell**](http://www.haskell.org) and [**OCaml**](http://ocaml.org) can be
mentioned as other languages of inspiration.

The main purpose of ![lama](lama.svg) is to present a repertoire of constructs with certain runtime behavior and
relevant implementation techniques. The lack of a type system (a vital feature for a real-word language
for software engineering) is an intensional decision which allows to show the unchained diversity
of runtime behaviors, including those which a typical type system is called to prevent. On the other hand
the language can be used in future as a raw substrate to apply various ways of software verification (including
type systems) on.

The current implementation contains a native code compiler for **x86-32**, written
in **OCaml**, a runtime library with garbage-collection support, written in **C**, and a small
standard library, written in ![lama](lama.svg) itself. The native code compiler uses **gcc** as a toolchain.

In addition, a source-level reference interpreter is implemented as well as a compiler to a small
stack machine. The stack machine code can in turn be either interpreted on a stack machine interpreter, or
used as an intermediate representation by the native code compiler.

## Language Specification
@ -47,70 +41,84 @@ The language specification can be found [here](lama-spec.pdf).
## Installation
Windows users should get Windows Subsystem for Linux a.k.a WSL (recommended) or cygwin. Ubuntu-based variant of WSL is recommended.
Supported target: GNU/Linux x86_32 (x86_64 by running 32-bit mode)
***Mac*** users should use either a virtual machine or docker with a Linux distributive inside.
***Windows*** users should get Windows Subsystem for Linux a.k.a WSL (recommended) or cygwin.
Ubuntu-based variant of WSL is recommended.
* System-wide prerequisites:
- `sudo apt install gcc-multilib` (in Debian-based GNU/Linux)
- `gcc-multilib`
For example, (for Debian-based GNU/Linux):
```bash
$ sudo apt install gcc-multilib
```
On some versions you need to install additional package `lib32gcc-9-dev` in case of errors like

```
- [opam](http://opam.ocaml.org) (>= 2.0.4)
- [OCaml](http://ocaml.org) (>= 4.10.1). *Optional* because it can be easily installed through opam. Compiler variant with `flambda` switch is recommended
- [OCaml](http://ocaml.org) (>= 4.10.1). *Optional* because it can be easily installed through opam.
Compiler variant with `flambda` switch is recommended.
* Check that `opam` is installed (using commands `which opam` or `opam --version`)
* Install right [switch](https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Manual.html#Switches) for OCaml compiler
**Installation guide**
```
1. Install the right [switch](https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/Manual.html#Switches) for the OCaml compiler
```bash
# for fresh opam
opam switch create 4.14.0+flambda --packages=ocaml-variants.4.14.0+options,ocaml-option-flambda
$ opam switch create lama --packages=ocaml-variants.4.14.0+options,ocaml-option-flambda
# for old opam
opam switch create lama ocaml-variants.4.10.1+flambda
$ opam switch create lama ocaml-variants.4.10.1+flambda
```
In above command:
* In the above command:
- `opam switch create` is a subcommand to create a new switch
- `ocaml-variants.4.10.1+flambda` is name of a standart template for the switch
- `lama` is an alias for the switch being created; on success a directory `$(HOME)/.opam/lama` should be created
- `opam switch create` is a subcommand to create a new switch
- `ocaml-variants.4.10.1+flambda` is the name of a standard template for the switch
- `lama` is an alias for the switch being created; on success a directory `$(HOME)/.opam/lama` should be created
* Update PATH variable for the fresh switch. (You can add these commands to your `~/.bashrc` for convenience but they should be added by `opam`)
2. Update PATH variable for the fresh switch. (You can add these commands to your `~/.bashrc` for convenience but they should be added by `opam`)
```bash
$ export OPAMSWITCH=lama
$ eval $(opam env)
```
```
export OPAMSWITCH=lama
eval $(opam env)
```
* Check that the OCaml compiler is now available in PATH by running `which ocamlc`; it should answer with `/home/user/.opam/lama/bin/ocamlc` (or similar) and `ocamlc -v` should answer with
```
The OCaml compiler, version 4.10.1
Standard library directory: /home/user/.opam/lama/lib/ocaml
```
Check that OCaml compiler is now available in PATH: running `which ocamlc` should give `/home/user/.opam/lama/bin/ocamlc` (or similar) and `ocamlc -v` should give
3. Pin Lama package using `opam` and right URL (remember of "#" being a comment character in various shells)
```
The OCaml compiler, version 4.10.1
Standard library directory: /home/user/.opam/lama/lib/ocaml
```
```bash
$ opam pin add Lama https://github.com/JetBrains-Research/Lama.git\#1.10 --no-action
```
* Pin Lama package using `opam` and right URL (remember of "#" being a comment character in various shells)
The extra '#' sign is added because in various Shells it is the start of a comment
`opam pin add Lama https://github.com/JetBrains-Research/Lama.git\#1.10 --no-action`
4. Install *dep*endencies on system-wide *ext*ernal packages and `lama` itself after that.
The extra '#' sign is added because in various Shells it is a start of comment
```bash
$ opam depext Lama --yes
$ opam install Lama --yes
```
* Install *dep*endencies on system-wide *ext*ernal packages and `lama` itself after that.
5. Check that `lamac` executable was installed: `which lamac` should answer with
```
opam depext Lama --yes
opam install Lama --yes
```
* Check that `lamac` exectuable was installed: `which lamac` should give
```
/home/user/.opam/lama/bin/lamac
```
```
/home/<USER>/.opam/lama/bin/lamac
```
### Smoke-testing (optional)
Clone the repository and run `make -C tutorial`. It should build local compiler `src/lamac` and a few tutorial executables in `tutorial/`.
