Let's make of computing a human thing
A vision and an open-source technology

Today's systems are over-complicated
- Too many blackboxes
- Too many dependencies
- Too many technologies
- Too many layers
- Too many formats
- Too many protocols
- Too many source codes
Documentation is either missing, scattered, contradictory, redundant or outdated.

No single human can handle it anymore
This complexity puts you at risk
There is no serious talk on security when you don't know what happens in your system.
Your attack surface is huge.
Your IIOTs are unsafe.
Any update of your system may lead to severe regressions.
Development time is unpredictable when the framework or operating system behaves in an unknown way.
Developers quit their jobs because of the project code complexity and opacity.

A lesson from ransomwares

The good news:
another vision is possible

- a single engineer should understand 100% of the system's operation
- we see the computer as the ultimate construction set based on elementary mathematical operations
- the programmer builds his own calculation by combining these elementary operations
- the source code keeps small and linear
- third party source code is only integrated when its operation is fully understood
- the programmer has easy access to the details of what the machine is calculating
To realize this vision,
a new, minimalist technology is needed

The combination of a high-level language and a virtual processor
A high-level, concise and powerful language
A portable technology that can work with or without an operating system

And the most important,
human documentation

Minimacy is a new minimalism:
all you need fits in your single brain

Human: 1, Machine: 0
Time to apply "Less is more"
to software
- a versatile virtual processor with an embedded compiler
The combo "compiler/virtual processor" guarantees the safety of the execution, and reduces the distance between the high-level language and the hardware.This technology makes it easy to follow the path from the high-level source code to the bytecode and then to the native functions.Less than 800 Ko of source code for the Virtual Processor and its compiler.
- program with the Minimacy high-level language, optimize with C
Start writing your program with the Minimacy programming language.If ever it isn't fast enough, identify one or two functions with intensive computation, and extend the virtual processor with small and native functions written in C.
- all the information you need in one place
Minimacy really gives you the keys to a complete control over what your system is computingOn this site you find a stable distribution, including the virtual processor, the core libraries and the documentation with the corresponding source code.The documentation is presented in a new form "The Book", that allows you to react and ask questions that in turn enrich the documentation for the benefit of all. We consider that if you have a question it is because the documentation is not clear enough, so we fix it.
- designed to run without an operating system
The virtual processor runs on Windows, Linux, MacOs, iOs, RaspberryPi with the minimum interaction with the operating system.Minimacy runs also without an operating system, paving the way for a 100% understanding of your system.
