Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. C-- (pronounced "cee minus minus") is a C-like programming language. Its creators, functional programming researchers Simon Peyton Jones and Norman Ramsey, designed it to be generated mainly by compilers for very high-level languages rather than written by human programmers. Unlike many other intermediate languages, its representation is plain text, not bytecode or another binary format.C-- is a "portable assembly language", designed to ease the task of implementing a compiler which produces high-quality machine code by having the compiler generate C-- code, delegating the harder work of low-level code generation and optimisation to a C-- compiler.
