  1. apotheca

    apotheca codicorum

    Sic itur ad astra! I spent some time and tokens generating these C99 applications and libraries all in classical Latin: https://github.com/jdb19937/apotheca. They all built with this C99 compiler + arm64 assembler + linker toolchain https://github.com/jdb19937/ccc (CCC = 300) which is included. But my favorite one of these repo is the 100+ test cases https://github.com/jdb19937/corpus that I used to iterate the compiler to bootstrappability. Nota: README.md ignorandum est. Anglice scriptum est ad barbaros ineruditos pecunia emungendos, lege LEGEME.md.
