Tools
The first version of the Naitekiakki toolchain will be written in Python for cross-platformity, although certain build targets may require specialized environments.
Phase 1 Compiler
The phase 1 compiles Naitekiakki source code to intermediate object code. There is a Python C parser called pycparser, this can be extended since the language is based on C.
Phase 2 compilers
These translate the object XML into code specifically targeted to a platform. The phase 2 compiler and the object XML schema are written in such a way as to be completely independent of Naitekiakki and the phase 1 compiler, allowing many languages to be implemented on top of this toolchain.
