Carp
WARNING! This is a research project and a lot of information here might become outdated and misleading without any explanation. Don't use it for anything important just yet!
Version 0.4 of the language is out!
About
Carp is a programming language designed to work well for interactive and performance sensitive use cases like games, sound synthesis and visualizations.
The key features of Carp are the following:
- Automatic and deterministic memory management (no garbage collector or VM)
- Inferred static types for great speed and reliability
- Ownership tracking enables a functional programming style while still using mutation of cache-friendly data structures under the hood
- No hidden performance penalties – allocation and copying are explicit
- Straightforward integration with existing C code
- Lisp macros, compile time scripting and a helpful REPL

A Very Small Example
(load-and-use SDL)
(defn tick [state]
(+ state 10))
(defn draw [app rend state]
(bg rend &(rgb (/ @state 2) (/ @state 3) (/ @state 4))))
(defn main []
(let [app (SDLApp.create "The Minimalistic Color Generator" 400 300)
state 0]
(SDLApp.run-with-callbacks &app SDLApp.quit-on-esc tick draw state)))
For instructions on how to run Carp code, see this document.
