Zinc, a systems programming language prototype

12e74d9 pelleas: further api design. ~oconnor0 pushed to ~oconnor0/zinc-proto git 606cfda proto: explore app.h ~oconnor0 pushed to ~oconnor0/zinc-proto git Zinc is my attempt at a low-level systems programming language prototype.

While I dreamed of integrating it with some 2D graphics or tile engine and playing around with old-school game dev, I ran into a few limitations with its design. I intended to write it as a single-pass compiler directly from the syntax tree and targeting C via TCC to enable it to run quickly and on any platform. Reasonable C interop, and probably, initial compilation to C. Package system, should one develop, doesn't support transitive dependencies.
