The Disco Discus Compiler Build Status

The Discus language is an experimental dialect of Haskell which investigates static typing and program transformation in the presence of computational effects. The compiler (DDC) is currently "working alpha" quality, meaning there is a complete system that can be hacked around with, but it’s not yet industrial strength.

Features

Show Me Code

Check out the Demos, List Library, and Text Implementation in the source tree. The Demos are simple programs. The List Library demonstrates effect polymorphism, and the Text implementation demonstrates use of private regions and capabilities.

Larger programs like a Ray Tracer are described on the blog.
