ple_clike_language/ 0.1 release reddit announcement.

The ultimate intent is to support a high degree of syntactical flexibility via
compile-time plugins; the goal for 0.2 is to rewrite the compiler in the
language itself and redesign the object system to support plugins.

The compiler is written in D1/phobos/tools and compiles to assembly; using GNU
binutils for binary generation. Only Linux/x86-32 is currently supported.

Feedback appreciated!

I looks cute. It can be useful for to invent and test possible designs for
D2/D3, for example to test and try alternative designs for ASM macros that may
be added to D3.

The reason that AST macros are hairy in any language but Lisp is that you have
this complicated syntax, so to expose it to the program requires you to add
equivalents for all the compiler's classes, functions and data structures to
your macro language. I hope to sidestep this by eventually rewriting the
compiler in the language itself, so that I can expose compiler internals
_directly_.

Can't compile, it say it needs a package named tools which is in the repo but
is ignored in .gitignore
