Chlorophytum/HlTT
HlTT is an embedded DSL for TrueType Instructions written in TypeScript.
TrueType instructions form a stack-oriented programming language, operating at a very low level.

HlTT defines a convenient way to write those binaries by using an embedded DSL in TypeScript (as well as JavaScript):
import CreateDSL, { TextInstr } from "@chlorophytum/HlTT"
const eg = CreateDSL()
// Define a function
const inc = eg.declareFunction("increase", function*(e) {
const [x] = e.args(1);
yield e.return(e.add(x, 1));
});
// Define a program
const glyph = eg.program(function*(e) {
yield e.call(inc, e.call(inc, 1));
});
// Compile functions
const fpgm = eg.compileFunctions(TextInstr);
console.log(fpgm.get(inc));
// PUSHB_1 0
// FDEF
// DUP
// PUSHB_1 1
// ADD
// PUSHB_1 2
// MINDEX
// POP
// ENDF
console.log(eg.compileProgram(glyph, TextInstr))
// PUSHB_2 1 0
// CALL
// PUSHB_1 0
// CALL
Global DSL
CreateDSL()
crates a global DSL (type Edsl.GlobalDsl
) that you can declare functions and programs (for glyphs, FPGM or PREP).
GlobalDsl::createFunction(f: string, b: () => Iterable<Statement>): Variable
- Define a function.
GlobalDsl::createProgram(b: () => Iterable<Statement>): ProgramRecord
- Define a glyph program, or program for FPGM and PREP.
GlobalDsl::compileFunctions<R>(format: InstrFormat<R>): Map<Variable, R>
- Compile the functions defined so far.
GlobalDsl::compileProgram<R>(pr: ProgramRecord, format: InstrFormat<R>): R
- Compile a glyph program, or program for FPGM and PREP.
Program/Function DSL
Program/Function DSL (type Edsl.ProgramDsl
) is used to define the body of a function or a program.
- Variables
ProgramDsl::args(qty: number): Variable[]
- Declare argument variables, only usable in function DSLs
ProgramDsl::local(size = 1): Variable
- Define a local variable, return the expression representing it.
- Providing a size will define an array.
ProgramDsl::twilight(): Variable
- Declare a local Twilight Zone point.
- Only usable in program DSLs. Using it in a function DSL will cause an runtime error.
ProgramDsl::set(a: Variable, x: number | Expression): Statement
- Assigns an expression to a variable.
- Not all variables are assignable (for example arguments are not).
- Graphic statements
- The following statements are used to create graphic states.
- Type
NE
denotes either a number or anExpression
, whileNPE
denotes either a number or aPointerExpression
.NPE
s are often used when referencing a CVT index. - All point numbers are interpreted as long points, i.e.:
- Glyph point numbers are referenced as-is;
- Twilight point numbers are referenced using bitwise negation.
ProgramDsl::mdap(p: NE): Statement
ProgramDsl::miap(p: NE, cv: NPE): Statement
ProgramDsl::mdrp(rp0: NE, p: NE): Statement
ProgramDsl::mirp(rp0: NE, p: NE, cv: NPE): Statement

ProgramDsl::delta.p1(...a: [NE, NE][]): Statement
ProgramDsl::delta.p2(...a: [NE, NE][]): Statement
ProgramDsl::delta.p3(...a: [NE, NE][]): Statement
ProgramDsl::delta.c1(...a: [NPE, NE][]): Statement
ProgramDsl::delta.c2(...a: [NPE, NE][]): Statement
