An esoteric programming language based on Italian comedy 'supercazzole', compiling to C and LLVM.
Monicelli is an esoteric programming language that translates Italian comedy 'supercazzole' into a working programming syntax. It compiles to C and LLVM, allowing developers to write programs that look like humorous Italian dialogue while producing efficient, linkable machine code. The language solves the niche problem of creating a functional, compilable language from purely comedic inspiration.
Developers interested in esoteric languages, programming language enthusiasts, and those exploring humorous or culturally themed coding projects. It's also suitable for educational purposes in compiler design due to its LLVM backend.
Developers choose Monicelli for its unique blend of Italian comedy and practical compilation, offering a fully-featured language that integrates with existing C/C++ ecosystems. Its use of LLVM ensures modern optimization, while the whimsical syntax provides a distinctive, entertaining coding experience.
An esoteric programming language, come se fosse antani.

Code reads like Italian comedy dialogue with phrases like 'vaffanzum' for return, providing a unique and entertaining programming experience as described in the README.
Compiles to C and leverages LLVM for optimization, producing executables or object files that integrate with standard toolchains, ensuring performance comparable to native C.
Generated code calls the C standard library directly, allowing easy linking with C/C++ projects without extra dependencies, as highlighted in the release notes.
Hand-written parser provides English error messages for debugging, making the esoteric syntax more accessible despite its humorous nature.
Requires installation of ragel, CMake, LLVM development libraries, and a C compiler, which can be non-trivial and platform-dependent.
Default executable generation only works on POSIX systems; Windows requires disabling the linker and manual linking, as admitted in the README.
Features like modules and the C++ transpiler have been removed, limiting flexibility for advanced use cases compared to earlier versions.
