Gilda: A General Purpose Programming Language

The Gilda language is intended to make it easier to build high quality software. This is achieved by addressing issues with portability, reuse, ease of use, software maintenance, reliability, testing, and debugging. The language combines several innovations with a clean and simple syntax.



Overview of the Gilda Programming Language

Examples:    Hello World      Phonecode



A draft version of the Gilda Language Referend Manual is still being edited and should soon be completed. In its current state it is useful, but in some cases will be unclear.

Work on a Gilda-to-C translator is in the proof of concept stage. Once completed the compiler can be easilly ported to other platforms. Gilda was originally developed on Unix and was ported to five legacy platforms (m68000, Sparc, MIPS, Vax, and Alpha) prior to the current x86 implementation.

Get a Preview Edition of the Gilda Compiler

To run the Preview Edition of the Gilda Compiler you will need a Windows computer with an x86 processor. To request a preview edition of compiler send eMail to preview@techneon.com with "Gilda Preview" in the subject line.

You will first need to install Microsoft Visual Studio. You can get a free copy of the Community edition of Visual Studio from Microsoft.

Once you install Visual Studio and can compile a C/C++ program from a command line then you can install and run the Gilda compiler.
