The Sex language

Sex is a S-expressions language, which transpiles to C.

Compilation and usage

Sex is written in Chicken Scheme, so first you'll need to get yourself a Chicken.

Compilation

make

Usage

You'll also need a C compiler, so pick any.

cat hello-world.sex | sexc > hello_world.c
cc hello_world.c -o hello_world

Features

Full C interoperability

Just (include "Your/Favourite/Library.h") and use it as you would have is C.

For hardcore fans of traditional Lisp naming convention, Sex offers automatic unkebabification of all symbols, i.e. no more ugly GL_ARRAY_BUFFER~s in your code, they may be writted in their proper form: ~GL-ARRAY-BUFFER.

Use an established environment for development

As Sex is S-expressions, you always have Emacs with paredit as your best option.
