Salama is about native code generation in and of ruby.
It is probably best to read the [The Book](http://dancinglightning.gitbooks.io/the-object-machine/content/) first.
The current (fourth) rewrite adds a typed intermediate representation layer (bit like c,
but not as a language). The idea is to compile ruby to that typed representation.
The current third rewrite adds a system language, with the idea of compiling ruby to that language, Soml.
The original ruby parser has been remodeled to parse Soml and later we will use whitequarks
parser to parse ruby. Then it will be ruby --> Soml --> assembler --> binary .
We will use whitequarks parser to parse ruby. Then it will be ruby --> Typed --> Register --> Arm --> binary .
## Done
Some things that are finished, look below for current status / work
### Soml
### Typed representation
A working of the [system language](http://salama-vm.org/soml/soml.html) is done. It is
strongly typed, but leans more towards ruby style syntax.
The fully typed syntax representation and compiler to the Register level is done.
It is remodeled after last years system language, which proved the concept and
surprised with speed.
Completely object oriented, including calling convention. Not much slower than c.

## Status
Having finished Soml, it's time to compile ruby to it.
This will mean more work on the type front.
Most work on the statically typed layer should be done (and produces working binaries!).
Next up: compiling ruby and typing it :-)

Slightly more here : http://salama.github.io/2014/06/10/more-clarity.html (then still called Kernel)
The Builtin module is scattered into several files, but that is just so the file doesn't get too long.
Note: This is about to change slightly with the arrival of Soml. Soml is a lower level function,
and as such there is not much that we need that can not be expressed in it. My current thinking
is that i can code anything in Soml and will only need the Soml instruction set.
So this whole Builtin approach may blow over in the next months. It had already become clear that
mostly this was going to be about memory access, which in Soml is part of the language.

### Compiling
The Ast (abstract syntax tree) is created by [salama-reader](https://github.com/salama/salama-reader)

The typed syntax tree is created by the ruby compiler.
The code in this directory compiles the AST to the virtual machine code, and Parfait object structure.

The Compiler instance can hold arbitrary scope needed during the compilation. Since we compile Soml

### Distinctly future proof
Soml is designed to be used as an implementation language for a higher oo language. Some, or
even many, features may not make sense on their own. But these features, like several return
addresses, are important to implement the higher language.
In fact, Soml's main purpose is not even to be written. The main purpose is to have a language to
compile ruby to. In the same way that the assembler layer in salama is not designed to be written,
we just need it to create our layers.

## Notice of change
The stuff below, like the whole of Parfait, was written before soml. Ie before there was a seperate
language to compile a higher language to. Soml is not so dynamic, could do without much of the
ObjectSpace that is the core of Parfait.
So things will change. How will become clear when soml is finished.
### Parfait: a thin layer
Parfait is the run-time of the **vm**.
To be more precise, it is that part of the run-time needed to boot soml.
Parfait is the run-time of the object system.
To be more precise, it is that part of the run-time needed to boot.
The run-time needs to contain quite a lot of functionality for a dynamic system.
And a large part of that functionality must actually be used at compile time too.
@ -17,9 +9,6 @@ And a large part of that functionality must actually be used at compile time too
We reuse the Parfait code at compile-time, to create the data for the compiled vm.
To do this the vm (re) defines the object memory (in parfait_adapter).
To do the actual compiling we parse and compile the parfait code and inline it to
appropriate places.
