low-level programming, redesigned.

Hydrogen Language is a single-file syntactic layer that reshapes C into a more readable and understandable language. It uses intuitive keywords, functional programming patterns, and seamless cross-platform abstractions, which have all been continously iterated and improved upon.

H lang is a free, open-source, easily legible way to program.

start
{
	file f = open_file( "input.txt" );
	if_nothing( f.handle )
	{
		print( "Failed to open file\n" );
		out executable_failure;
	}
	
	byte input[ KB( 10 ) ];
	byte ref in_ref = input;
	file_load( ref_of( f ), input );
	
	byte output[ KB( 10 ) ];
	byte ref out_ref = output;
	
	check_input:
	{
		with( input_ref )
		{
			when( ' ', '\t', '\n', '\r' )
			{
				input_ref = input_ref + 1;
				jump check_input;
			}
			
			when( 'E', 'e' )
			{
				val_of( output_ref ) = '3';
				output_ref = output_ref + 1;
			}
		}
	}
	
	file_close( ref_of( f ) );
	out executable_success;
}
					

The entire thing has been continuously iterated on, reviewed by peers, adjusted, and tweaked to ensure that it is as readable as possible, even to people who do not program. If a programming language takes extra effort to decypher while reading then it is more prone to having errors and bugs. Understanding exactly what the code is doing in the shortest amount of time possible is extremely important. Vague symbols found in other languages are transformed into self-explanatory functional terms, making code readable without the need for comments. Comments should only say what the code isn't saying, adding to it. They should never describe the code itself.

H lang allows you to write expressive platform-agnostic low-level code that compiles everywhere.
