This is the C implementation of the Smile Programming Language.

Smile is a functional, object-oriented, dynamically-typed programming language with a flexible syntax. It is heavily inspired by Lisp and Smalltalk and JavaScript, and is as mutatable and extensible as a true Lisp, but it reads more like Python or Ruby.

(Note: This C implementation is somewhat incomplete but growing, and it will soon become the official implementation. It is somewhat usable in its current form, and will likely pass the old C# implementation by the end of 2018.)

Short short version: It's free as in speech and free as in beer. You can use it any way you want, non-profit, private, public, or commercial, and you can even sell it, but you can't claim you wrote it, and since it's free, you can't complain or sue if it doesn't work or causes trouble for you.

Smile uses third-party software libraries for some functionality:

• The Boehm mostly-conservative garbage collector. http://www.hboehm.info/gc/
• The Intel Decimal Floating-Point Math Library. https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-decimal-floating-point-math-library

These software libraries are covered under their own licenses, but all use forms of non-restrictive open-source licenses (in the cases above, the MIT and BSD licenses, respectively).

Smile does not contain commercially-licensed third-party software. Smile does not contain GPL- or LGPL-licensed third-party software.
