Fclike
Fclike is a fictional programming language designed to explore the space where C-like syntax meets functional programming. It is used in textbooks and online tutorials as a neutral example of language design choices, illustrating how typing, memory management, and control flow interact when combining imperative and functional styles.
The language adopts a C-like surface syntax—braces, semicolons, and familiar control structures—but emphasizes functional concepts. Functions
Tooling and implementations for Fclike exist primarily as research prototypes. Compilers translate to a bytecode or
Fclike remains a niche teaching tool rather than a production language. It is used to illustrate trade-offs
