Fern (2025-12-27)

One-word language.

Synopsis:

   gcc fern.c -o fern
   ./fern < input.txt > output.c

   g++ fern.c -o fern++
   ./fern++ < input.txt > output.c

Fern is a message-to-c encoder.  Given some input on stdin, Fern will
produce C code that reproduces the input on stdout.  Notable output
features include:

- Output consists of mainly one word ("zoltraak")

- Concatenating multiple output code together produces C code that is
  still compilable, which generates concatenated output (just like
  gzip)

Layout is based on Fern from "Sousou no Frieren".

Fern won the "Most magical word" award in IOCCC 2025.
