xcc700

GDSL is written in C++ with use of STL, templates and lambdas, so it's 2600 lines of such C++ source code. There is no self-hosting: neither the LISP compiler nor the C compiler can compile itself. No operating system is implemented, the word kernel in the title means something else. FYI Here is a 700-line subset-of-C compiler which can compile itself: https://github.com/valdanylchuk/xcc700 . FYI The linker and the libc are not included.

If you're staying in python or another dynamic language it could probably work. Unfortunately I don't think there are a lot of native compilers that run on esp32s, though there are some[0] [0]: https://github.com/valdanylchuk/xcc700

Repo: https://github.com/valdanylchuk/xcc700 Hi Everyone! I just wrote my first compiler! - single pass, recursive descent, direct emission - generates REL ELF binaries, runnable using ESP-IDF elf_loader - very basic features only, just enough for self-hosting - treats the Xtensa CPU as a stack machine for simplicity, no register allocation / window usage - compilable on Mac, probably also Linux, can cross-compile for esp32 there - wrote for fun / cyberdeck project Sample output from esp32: xcc700.elf xcc700.c -o /d/cc.elf [ xcc700 ] BUILD COMPLETED > OK > IN : 700 Lines / 7977 Tokens > SYM : 69 Funcs / 91 Globals > REL : 152 Literals / 1027 Patches > MEM : 1041 B .rodata / 17120 B .bss > OUT : 27735 B .text / 33300 B ELF [ 40 ms ] >> 17500 Lines/sec << My best hope is that some fork might grow into
