# Comun
Comun is a [beautiful](beauty.md), greatly [minimalist](minimalism.md) [programming language](programming_language.md) made by [drummyfish](drummyfish.md) in 2022, based on his ideals of good, [selfless](selflessness.md) [technology](technology.md) known as *[less retarded software](lrs.md)* (LRS), of which it is now considered the official programming language, though still a greatly work in progress one. In the future it should gradually replace [C](c.md) as the preferred LRS language, however let's keep in mind the language is still highly experimental and work in progress, it may yet change more or less. The language has been inspired mainly by [Forth](forth.md) but also [C](c.md), [brainfuck](brainfuck.md) and other ones. Though already usable, it is still in quite early stages of development; currently there is a [suckless](suckless.md) implementation of comun in [C](c.md) and a number of supplemental materials such as a specification, tutorial and some example programs. The project repository is currently at https://codeberg.org/drummyfish/comun. The aim now is to make a [self hosted](self_hosting.md) implementation, i.e. write comun in comun. Though very young, **comun is probably already the best programming language ever conceived** :-)

Though already usable, it is still in development; currently there is a [suckless](suckless.md) implementation of comun in [C](c.md) as well as a basic [self hosted](self_hosting.md) one which should gradually replace the C version. There is also a number of supplemental materials such as a specification, tutorial and some example programs. The project repository is currently at https://codeberg.org/drummyfish/comun. The aim now is to make a [self hosted](self_hosting.md) implementation, i.e. write comun in comun. Though very young, **comun is probably already the best programming language ever conceived** :-)
**How minimal is comun?** The specification fits on one sheet of A4 paper (using both sides) and the minimal self hosted compiler without preprocessor and fancy features has some 2400 [lines of code](loc.md), a lot of which are documenting comments (the whole self hosted codebase that also includes a more "feature rich" compiler, optimizer, interpreter etc. still has fewer than 5000 lines).
{ NOTE: I found a language on esolang wiki called *Minim* that looks a bit similar to comun, however it looks a bit sucky. Anyway it should be researched more. ~drummyfish }
