The Mezi Programming Language

Mezi is an general purpose open source programming language.

This programming language is an non-java JVM language. The source code written in the Mezi is compiled to JVM byte code.

Mezi is interested in the followings.

  1. Expression oriented grammar
  2. Type generalization, and type inference
  3. Identifying definition and assignment
  4. Thread serialization & live migration (Future Plan)

Getting Started

Building Mezi compiler & Helloworld example

Build Notes

The project can be built with a modern JDK and Maven.

  • mvn compile automatically runs JJTree and JavaCC for src/main/java/mezic/parser/Parser.jjt, assuming the jjtree and javacc tools are installed
  • On Ubuntu, you can install those tools with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y maven javacc
  • Generated parser sources are written under target/generated-sources/javacc
  • Example runners under src/main/java/mezic/test work on both Java 8-style rt.jar layouts and Java 9+ jmod layouts
  • The current documented flow has been verified with JDK 25

Example Mezi code

  1. Simple grammar examples

  2. Simple algorithm implementation examples
