    I've made a lot of great progress on Grace, my bytecode interpreted language. Its syntax is inspired by Python, but it's very opinionated with some more "rigid" semantics. While there are probably some bugs I need to find and weird syntax errors I haven't tried yet that will break the compiler, it's got functions, control flow, file importing, built in primitive types and lists and dictionaries, and exceptions fully implemented.

    I've been working on my own interpreted language Grace (https://github.com/ryanjeffares/grace) using C++17. It's similar to Python and Ruby, but I intend on using reference counting as opposed to a garbage collector. Top priority now are classes, functions as first class objects, importing other files, native functions, and squeezing out some more performance - most operations are really fast but my function calls are a serious bottleneck, will need a refactor. It's my first lang after following Robert Nystrom's Crafting Interpreters and some other resources, been a tonne of fun!
