Middle Manager™ is a fully compiled esoteric programming language that transpiles corporate jargon to native C code, created by User:Librarian.
Middle Manager transpiles to standard C code and compiles to native executables via GCC.
Overview
Middle Manager is Turing-complete, as it transpiles directly to C and supports all major C constructs including loops, conditionals, functions, pointers, and dynamic memory allocation.
Language features
- Complete type system: deliverable (int), synergy (float), deep_dive (double), touchpoint (char), lay_off (void)
- Control structures: lets_explore (if), circle_back (while), scale_across = (for), evaluate_options (switch)
- Memory management: allocate_resources (malloc), shift_our_resources (free)
- Full support for pointers, arrays, structures, and enums
- Direct access to C standard library functions
Examples
Hello World
deliverable core_objective() {
stakeholder_update("Hello, Corporate World!\n");
deliver 0;
}
Fibonacci
deliverable calculate_deliverables(deliverable n) {
deliverable result = 1;
scale_across (deliverable i = 2; i <= n; i++) {
result *= i;
}
deliver result;
}
Implementation
The Middle Manager Compiler (mmc) is a multi-phase transpiler written in C17 consisting of a lexer, parser, semantic analyzer, and code generator. It produces standard C code which is then compiled by GCC into native executables.
