You have reached the main website of the Corinthian Abstract State Machine (CASM, pronounced [si:eɪ:es:em:]) project and organization! We use this website to publish and describe details about the CASM project, which is hosted on GitHub. CASM is still in a very early stage but you already can follow our updates on Twitter which are directly rendered as our News section.

Specification Language

The casm project consists of its own ASM language dialect which represents another concrete ASM language form just like other ASM languages e.g. CoreASM, AsmL, or AsmetaL. Check out our language and syntax.

Interpreter Application

We feature a CASM language interpreter called casmi, which performs a AST-based numeric execution and simulates the input specification accordingly to the ASM theory. Check out the current release in the download section.

Language Server Support

In our CASM language server daemon application called casmd, we implement the Language Server Protocol (LSP) to provide CASM language specific support to editor environments (LSP clients) like monaco or vscode.
