Who is making it?

The language was designed and founded and is maintained by @ell1e, reachable via e-mail at: el AT horse64 DOT org (Replace AT with @ and DOT with a period.) There's @ell1e's private tech website if you wanted to cheer her on or to support her outside of this project.

This is an unpaid noncommercial open-source project run by volunteers. The project doesn't accept funding nor donations.

2024-12-11: The first complex Moose64 programs are now working, a significant milestone to enable work on future low-level tooling. This means work on the Horse64 bytecode VM can begin soon.
2024-05-20: The horsec lexical analysis is mostly complete, with concurrency transformation and other backend analysis making good progress. There's now a sibling language named ”Moose64” that will later host the low-level tooling like the bytecode VM. Programs can't be run properly yet.
2023-10-17: The AST parser is nearing completion, which will enable first more in-depth compiler diagnostics. Programs can't be run properly yet.
2023-01-01: This project is very unfinished, that's why most links are broken. Why not check progress live on Codeberg?
