Cello - Higher level programming in C

[Nytro]

Cello is a library that introduces higher level programming to C.

• Interfaces
  allow for structured design
  
  
• Duck Typing
  allows for generic functions
  
  
• Exceptions
  control error handling
  
  
• Constructors/Destructors
  aid memory management
  
  
• Syntactic Sugar
  increases readability
  
  
• C Library
  means excellent performance and integration
  
  

/* Example libCello Program */

#include "Cello.h"

int main(int argc, char** argv) {

  /* Stack objects are created using "$" */
  var int_item = $(Int, 5);
  var float_item = $(Real, 2.4);
  var string_item = $(String, "Hello");

  /* Heap objects are created using "new" */
  var items = new(List, int_item, float_item, string_item);

  /* Collections can be looped over */
  foreach (item in items) {
    /* Types are also objects */
    var type = type_of(item);
    print("Object %$ has type %$\n", item, type);
  }

  /* Heap objects destroyed with "delete" */
  delete(items); 
}
