I made some progress on my concatenative toy language Foray. There's a basic repl, basic error handling (still not good though), and some basic builtin operators, and some basic docs in the repo.

I wanted to learn the zig language and I also decided to try making an interpreter for a stack-oriented concatenative language I'm calling Foray, mostly inspired by Min.

February 2021 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
After several failed projects, I finally started work on (and have made a lot of progress on) a programming language project that I'm really happy with. My language bread is an expression based, dynamically typed, object oriented language scripting language. When I learned rust, I was particularly excited by the idea of having if-expressions (rather than if-statements) in an imperative language. I went with that idea, and made a language where pretty much everything (function definitions, loops, class definitions) is an expression. I'm not sure how useful the language is, but it's been a lot of fun to write and hopefully I'll find some use for it.
What are some alternatives?
