# HolyC
|
||||
HolyC is a [JIT](jit.md) compiled, imperative [programming language](programming_language.md) created by [Terry Davis](terry_davis.md)
|
||||
as the main programming language for his [TempleOS](templeos.md) operating system. Its syntax and semantics resemble the ones of [C](c.md).
|
||||
|
||||
HolyC type system is quite minimal and almost for documentation purposes only, making the language almost typeless
|
||||
(for example, all integer types are extended to 64 bits). Some other notable features are inline assembly support
|
||||
and the ability to embed any kind of data in the source code, including images, 3D models and more
|
||||
(on the source of the games included with TempleOS you can see these).
|
||||
|
||||
HolyC, unlike regular C is more flexible, it is even used as the shell language in TempleOS.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
### Hello World
|
||||
```holyc
|
||||
// U0 is the void type
|
||||
U0 Main()
|
||||
{
|
||||
// Lone string literals are a form of implicit print (and printf)
|
||||
"Hello, World!\n";
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// HolyC has a toplevel that allows for executable code, unlike C.
|
||||
// Main here has to be called explicitly.
|
||||
Main;
|
||||
```
