The language is intended to be the foundation of a completely new, non-[capitalist](capitalism.md) computer technology built from the ground up, which should culminate in the creation of the LRS much desired [public domain computer](public_domain_computer.md). This technology is derived from the model of an [ideal society](less_retarded_society.md) and as such will aim for completely different goals (such as helping all living beings as much as possible without enslaving them) and values; this makes comun astronomically different in philosophy and design of the shitty, toxic capitalist joke languages such as [C++](cpp.md) and [Rust](rust.md) which pursue fascism, enslavement of humans to the [productivity cult](productivity_cult.md) etc.
Comun is planned to closely interact with [comun shell](comun_shell.md), though the two parts will be completely independent.
**A quick sum up** is following: comun is **[minimalist](minimalism.md)**, **[low level](low_level.md)** with minimum [abstraction](abstraction.md), **[portable](portability.md)**, **[imperative](imperative.md)** and **[stack](stack.md)-based**, using **reverse Polish notation**. It can be **both [compiled](compiler.md) and [interpreted](interpreter.md)**. There are **only primitive integer [data types](data_type.md)** (native integer size by default with possibility to specify exact width where necessary, signed/unsigned interpretation is left to the programmer) and **optional [pointers](pointer.md)** that can be used as variables, for managing multiple stacks, creating [arrays](array.md) etc. Its **specification can fit on a sheet of paper** and is **completely [public domain](public_domain.md)** under [CC0](cc0.md) (as is its current implementation). It has **no [standard library](stdlib.md)**. There are **no [English](english.md) keywords**; commands are rather very short (mostly 1 to three symbols) math-like symbols. Source code only allows [ASCII](ascii.md) symbols (no [unicode](unicode.md)). There is an **optional [preprocessor](preprocessor.md) that uses comun itself** (i.e. it doesn't use any extra language). **[Functions](function.md) and [recursion](recursion.md)** are supported. Many features of the language are optional and never burden the programmer if he doesn't use them. Simplified versions of the language (minicomun and microcomun) are also specified.
