GPPVM (General Purpose Parallel Virtual Machine) is a modern programming language and stack-based virtual machine inspired by Python and Rust, designed with strong static semantics and efficient bytecode execution.
“Compile with confidence, execute with elegance.”
GPPVM combines an expressive language with a performant and extensible virtual machine.
- 🔍 Full semantic analysis before code generation
- 💡 Type inference with implicit coercion based on archetypes
- 🧠 Robust type system supporting hierarchical archetypes
(e.g.,int → number → object) - ⚙️ Bytecode execution on a stack-based VM
- 🧩 Plugin-based compiler architecture
- 🚀 Focus on performance, clean IR, and readable bytecode
The compiler and VM are composed of well-defined, interchangeable stages:
- Lexer (required)
- Parser (required)
- Semantic Analyzer (required)
- Intermediate Representation Generator (IR) (required)
- Bytecode Emitter (required)
- Bytecode Decompiler (optional)
- Optimizer 1 (optional)
- Optimizer 2 (optional)
- Optimizer 3 (optional)
- Virtual Machine (runtime)
Project configuration determines which plugins are active for each compilation step.
