GIECS Documentation

Giecs Intermediate Environment for Concatenative, Stack-oriented programming.

GIECS allows you to create a custom intermediate environment or virtual machine for scripting and compiling. Its design is concatenative and stack-based, making it easy to implement frontends for LISP, Forth, Joy or functional languages like Haskell.
