Sheepy and Pretty c

Pretty.c is a scripting language compatible with C, it is a bunch of C preprocessor macros and defines.

Sheepy is a build system to run C program as script.

Let's run a pretty.c script like a script (it is compiled when running the script):

💲 vi pretty.c
#! /usr/bin/env sheepy
#include "pretty.h"
int main(int argc, char** argv) {

      if (argc above 1)
          with (f, fclose, fopen(argv[1], "r"))
              fortimes (line, 10)
                 with (buf, free, vector(200, char, 0))
                     when (fgets(buf, 200, f))
                         then print(buf)
                         otherwise 0;
      else
          println("Please provide an input file");
      return EXIT_SUCCESS;

}
:wq
💲 chmod 755 pretty.c

Running the pretty.c example gives:

#+TITLE:Pretty C: ✨Pretty✨ Scripting on Top of C

Pretty C is a new scripting language compatible with C. Pretty C
boosts your programs with dynamic typing, generic iteration, resource
tracking and other niceties. And it's backwards-compatible with C and
all of its libraries! Inspired by Lua, Python, JavaScript, and
Lisp. Here's how a naive re-implementation of ~head~ utility might
look like with Pretty C:
