Oblíbený

Dual-Language Paradigm compiler for secure edge computing

Oblíbený Programming Language

Proven • Secure • Sustainable

What is Oblíbený?

Oblíbený (Czech: "beloved" or "favorite") is a programming language that fundamentally rethinks how we write, verify, and deploy software. It combines:

🔐 Security by Design: Two-phase compilation ensures deployment-time code is provably terminating and resource-bounded

🤖 First-Class AI: AI effects are typed, tracked, and verified at compile-time

✅ Distributed Verification: BOINC-powered crowd-sourced formal verification of language properties

🌍 Sustainability-Focused: Explicit resource tracking for energy, carbon, and computational costs

📐 Formally Verified: Properties proven through property-based testing and formal methods

Key Features

🎯 Core Language Features

Lisp-Inspired S-Expression Syntax: Clean, consistent, and easy to parse

Multiple Dialects:

Me: Educational dialect for learning (8-12 years old)

(@solution "memoized"
  @when: n > 20
  @provides: energy: 50J, latency: 5ms
  (memo-fib n))

(@solution "naive"
  @provides: energy: 10J, latency: 100ms
  (if (<= n 1) n
      (+ (fibonacci (- n 1))
         (fibonacci (- n 2))))))

AI Effect Types:

(def analyze-sentiment (text: String) → (AIEffect Sentiment) @model: "gpt-4" @budget: tokens: 500, cost: $0.01 @fallback: rule-based-sentiment …​)

Oblíbený: Making AI Integration Safe, Provable, and Sustainable

Star ⭐ this repo if you believe in provably secure, AI-integrated programming!

Components

Overview

Oblíbený implements a novel compilation model designed for anti-tamper resilience and provable security guarantees on edge devices:

• Master Language: Turing-complete for development (macros, metaprogramming, unbounded computation)

• Deployment Subset: Turing-incomplete for deployment (provably terminating, bounded resources)

This dual-language paradigm enables developers to write expressive code that compiles down to a restricted, formally verifiable subset safe for deployment on constrained edge devices.

Key Features

Security Model

• Capability-based I/O: No syscalls in deployment; explicit capability tokens required

• Provable Termination: Call graph acyclicity + bounded loops

• Resource Bounds: Max iterations, memory, stack depth, execution time

• Semantic Obfuscation: Metamorphic code generation for anti-tamper resilience

Compilation Stages

Source (.obl) → Lexer → Parser → AST → Type Checker → Phase Validator
                                  ↓
              HIR → MIR → LIR → Code Generator → Target Binary
               ↓     ↓
           Types   CFG + Optimizations

1. Expansion (Stage 0): Macro expansion, compile-time execution

2. Verification (Stage 1): Type checking, termination proofs, resource analysis

3. Generation (Stage 2): Optimization, obfuscation, code generation

Target Domains

• Edge computing nodes

• IoT devices

• Embedded systems

• Sensor networks

• Secure actuators
