Crane Programming Language

Overview

Crane is a statically typed, mid-level programming language designed for general-purpose use. It is known for its portability and ease of embedding into other systems. Crane is compiled to CraneVM, a virtual machine designed to execute Crane bytecode efficiently.

Features

• Statically Typed: Crane enforces type safety at compile time, reducing runtime errors and improving code reliability.
• Mid-Level Language: Offers a balance between high-level abstractions and low-level control, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
• General Purpose: Can be used for a variety of programming tasks, from system programming to application development.
• Embedded & Portable: Easily embedded into other systems and highly portable across different platforms.

Compilation to CraneVM

Crane code is compiled into bytecode that is executed by the CraneVM. The compilation process ensures that Crane code can run efficiently and safely, while using minimal resources and time.

Use Cases

Crane is suitable for:

• Developing system software and applications where performance and portability are crucial.
• Embedding into other software systems to provide scripting capabilities or custom logic.
• Writing portable code that can run on various hardware and operating systems.
