About

URCL - Simple hardware independent assembly language

Designed to be simple enough that even Minecraft CPUs can use it!

Universal Reduced Computer Language is a RISC assembly-like language which is designed to be as simple as it possibly can be. Unlike real assembly code, URCL does not have to deal with branch delay slots, read before write hazards, IO timings, flags, etc. - this lets users spend more time writing their program and less time fighting their hardware. Since URCL is extremely simple, it can be easily translated into real assembly code fairly easily. Any CPU that supports URCL is then able to make use of all the URCL tools - such as emulators, optimisers and compilers without having to make these tools yourself.

Writing URCL code has all the fun parts of writing assembly code, like dealing with simple operations on registers, but without the downsides of fighting the hardware. URCL makes writing assembly code fun and less of a chore.
