# Staapl

    Hello folks,

    The Staapl project has come to a point where it is ready for public scrutiny.

      http://zwizwa.be/staapl

    Staapl is a collection of abstractions for (meta)programming microcontrollers

    from within PLT Scheme. The core of the system is a programmable code generator

    structured around a functional concatenative  macro language. On top of this

    it includes a syntax frontend for creating Forth style languages, a backend

    code generator for the Microchip PIC18 microcontroller architecture, and

    interaction tools for shortening the edit-compile-run cycle.

    Enjoy!

    Tom

    That's so awesome, a concatenative language for PICs with abstraction!

    Thanks for making this public. It sounds much better than programming

    in assembly. I might find a way to use this in the future, since I

    have several PICs lying around, and robots built to use them.
