Monicelli is an esoteric programming language based on the 'supercazzole' gibberish from the Italian comedy film Amici Miei. It ships with mcc, an LLVM-based compiler that translates Monicelli source files into native executables that can link directly with C/C++ code.

Use cases

• write programs in an esoteric joke language
• compile supercazzola-based source code to native binaries
• learn how to build a compiler with LLVM
• link esoteric language code with C/C++ programs
• explore hand-written parser and lexer design with ragel

When to choose

• you want a fun, joke-driven programming language for entertainment or demos
• you want a small real-world codebase to study compiler construction with LLVM
• you need to mix esoteric-language object files with C/C++ code

When to avoid

• you need a practical language for real software projects
• you need Windows support, since mcc currently requires a POSIX system
• you want a large ecosystem, standard library, or community packages
