omniwsa

An assembler for all dialects of Whitespace assembly.

The Whitespace programming language is unique in that it has no visible syntax, so just about every implementation invents an assembly language to make writing programs easier. These syntactic layers over Whitespace share many features, but are all incompatible in different ways. This project bridges those gaps through a common concrete syntax tree and transformations between dialects.

This is a descriptivist implementation with pedantic bug-for-bug compatibility. It is considered a bug in omniwsa if its behavior differs from the reference assemblers. Since most projects for Whitespace are not actively maintained, it is unreasonable to expect fixes; however, if upstream is fixed, open an issue here and omniwsa will be updated to match it.
