A walkthrough of the internals of the Carp compiler

https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp

> Carp is a small programming language designed to work well for interactive and performance sensitive use cases like games, sound synthesis and visualizations.

The key features of Carp are the following:

* Automatic and deterministic memory management (no garbage collector or VM)

* Inferred static types for great speed and reliability

* Ownership tracking enables a functional programming style while still using mutation of cache-friendly data structures under the hood

* No hidden performance penalties – allocation and copying are explicit

* Straightforward integration with existing C code
