A compiler and IDE for the Micron programming language - the Oberon with the power of C
Micron is a systems programming language combining Oberon's simplicity and strictness with C's low-level reach. This repository provides its compiler (micc), interpreter, and IDE. Micron uses 'language levels' to control features like heap, pointers, and garbage collection, enabling code from boot-level to applications. It includes ports like Project Oberon and a Smalltalk-80 implementation.
Why now: It was featured in a 'Show HN' post on Hacker News, and the project shows active development with a free textbook, benchmarks, and substantial ports like the Oberon System running natively on RISC-V.
Who it is for: Systems programmers and hobbyists interested in Oberon, language design, or a C alternative for kernels, drivers, and emulated hardware projects.
