Show HN: Yaksha Programming Language
I'm late to the party, but I want to say thank you for sharing this. It's inspiring to look at how much you've built and (hopefully) enjoyed the process of building! I'm loving everything -- your site, your language design, your docs, your builtin libraries, your dev tools. Beyond impressive. People like you are the ones who make HN one of my best places on the internet.
For context on where I'm coming from, about two weeks ago I picked up Crafting Interpreters [1] for fun. I'm finding your clear-yet-concise Compiler internals [2] to be particularly compelling reading, and jumping back and forth between those "how this all works" docs and the live example of this language you actually built do a WASM-compiled tree-blowing-in-the-wind animation is just... just wow. So freaking cool!
I also enjoyed reading the comment thread that inspired you to start on Yaksha and seeing how this project has a wholesome start as inspiration-by-programming-hero. I hope you recognize that a few years later you've now ascended from inspiree to inspirer. I also hope you're still having tons of fun building out Yaksha!

How do you start your own programming language?
There are books which will talk you through the process. Crafting Interpreters is highly spoken of; I used Writing an Interpreter in Go, because I like Go. Then there's Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools (the "Dragon Book"). This is considered heavy, but a classic, it's been around since '86.

Designing a new language
I cannot recommend Crafting Interpreters by Robert Nystrom enough, it covers a lot of the stuff you need to know, completely for free.

A roadmap to design programming languages
Crafting Interpreters is a fun primer on language design. It has a complete roadmap to build a fairly simple language, twice. There are some topics it won't touch on, like static type systems, but it provides a great introduction so that you can start tinkering and learn by doing.

loxcraft: a compiler, language server, and online playground for the Lox programming language
Bob Nystrom also has a blog, and his articles are really well written (see his post on Pratt parsers / garbage collectors). I'd also recommend going through the source code for Wren, it shares a lot of code with Lox. Despite the deceptive simplicity of the implementation, it (like Lox) is incredibly fast - it's a great way to learn how to build production grade compilers in general.

Are they all like this?
If you want a pure C99 (sadly not C89 like Lua) immensely fast embeddable language pure interpreter, wren is a great language with excellent features like overload by arity. There is a huge maturity gap between the languages tho.

Most important language features not touched in the book "Crafting Interpreters"?
Check out the source to Wren: https://wren.io. It’s from the author of Crafting Interpreters and builds directly on what’s discussed in the book (essentially a more complete Lox) and adds several additional types, including an array.

What are some good C programs I can read through?
The best C code I have ever read is that of wren.
