Flame.Loyc is an experimental Loyc front-end for the Flame compiler framework.

Simple constructs such as classes and namespaces have already been implemented, but more complex features, such as generics, have not.

The Flame.Loyc library itself is written in F#, and makes use of Flame.Functional, which is also an F# library.

fecs is short for the Flame Enhanced C# compiler. It uses Loyc's EC# parser and Lexical Macro Processor (LeMP) to parse and process EC# code, which is then transformed into a Flame assembly by Flame.Loyc. A Flame back-end then transforms this assembly into some output format.

Available back-ends (sorted in descending order of stability):

• .NET assembly: fecs <source files> -platform clr
• C++ source files: fecs <source files> -platform c++
• Python source files: fecs <source files> -platform python

fecs interprets command-line arguments exactly like Flame's D# compiler, dsc.

For example, these commands are equivalent (iff Test.ecs and Test.ds are equivalent):

fecs Test.ecs -platform clr
dsc  Test.ds  -platform clr

Opening Flame.Loyc.sln in Visual Studio and hitting the "Build Solution" button should work fine if you have both a C# and an F# compiler installed.
