CURSED Programming Language

CURSED is an esoteric programming language that combines Go-like grammar with Generation Z slang for keywords and tokens. It is implemented as a self-compiling compiler written in Rust.

About CURSED

CURSED follows Go's practical design philosophy but replaces traditional programming keywords with contemporary Gen Z slang, creating a unique and entertaining programming experience while maintaining practical usability.

Example CURSED code:

vibe main

yeet "vibez"

slay main() {
    vibez.spill("Hello, World!")  fr fr This is a comment
    
    sus name tea = "bestie"
    vibez.spillf("Hey %s, what's good?", name)

    lowkey 1 < 2 {
        vibez.spill("This is based!")
    } highkey {
        vibez.spill("This is sus!")
    }
}

Self-Compiling Compiler

CURSED is implemented following the bootstrapping compiler approach:

1. Stage 0: Bootstrap environment setup using Rust
2. Stage 1: Minimal bootstrap compiler in Rust
3. Stage 2: Full compiler written in CURSED
4. Stage 3: Self-compiled full compiler
