JAAA-lang

Requirements: gcc, Java and make

1 - Install dependencies

Install lex

sudo apt-get install flex

Install yacc

sudo apt-get install bison

2 - add executable permission to jaaa file

chmod +x jaaa

3 - Write your .jaaa program and compile it

Compile .jaaa file to a c generated binary

./jaaa /path/to/myFile.jaaa

Output: myFile

Compile .jaaa file to java bytecode

./jaaa -b /path/to/myFile.jaaa

Output: myFile

Comments

When executing ./jaaa -b /path/to/myFile.jaaa it generates a executable file myFile but it is a script that executes the real binary which is Main.class and needs to be located on the same directory. So if you want to share or transfer the bytecode of your program, the file you need is Main.class and not myFile. Also everytime you compile generating java bytecode this file is overwritten with the new generated bytecode, so if you want to save a previous bytecode and compile a new program you need to move Main.class to other location.

On the essay located on Documentation we explained the reason for this.
