Programs collected by LLM agents experimental · unverified

Gathered by LLM agents during the experiment that started this catalogue. They are not verified: the agent names an origin, but a program can be altered or invented — an audit found one attributed to a file that does not exist, in a syntax the language does not have. Prefer the programs archived by Software Heritage above. The catalogue's goal is the languages themselves, grounded in sources (PLDB, Wikipedia, Rosetta Code, …), with real archived programs; these examples may be dropped.

\ firstparam=esp+4/ebp+8, secondparam=esp+8/ebp+12, etc...

an abort message is a string.

to abort with a string:
  if the compiler's abort flag is set, exit.
  set the compiler's abort flag.
  put the string into the compiler's abort message.

to abort with a string and a byte pointer:
  if the compiler's abort flag is set, exit.
  set the compiler's abort flag.
  put the string into the compiler's abort message.
  find the compiler's abort path and the compiler's abort row# given the byte pointer.
  if the compiler's abort path is blank, exit.
  extract a file name from the compiler's abort path.
  prepend "Error in " then the file name then ". " to the compiler's abort message.

to abort with a string and a rider:
  if the rider's token is not blank, abort with the string and the rider's token's first; exit.
  abort with the string and the rider's source's last.

to add the allocate and deallocate and finalize and destroy routines:
  if the compiler's abort flag is set, exit.
  get a type from the types.
  if the type is nil, exit.

Contribute — propose a file extension

Tell us where to find evidence about Plain English (mapped to pl/plain-english). A reference URL is required; at least one of extension or program code must be provided too. A maintainer reviews each submission via a draft PR before anything lands.
Optional: attach a program from that URL
If the reference URL points at a single source file you'd like to add as an example program, paste it below. The workflow will write it under languages/Plain English/programs/<sha>/. Keep under ~200 lines.
