guide VS Crafting Interpreters

Either way, you're going to need to follow either this guide: https://discordjs.guide/ to get you started with DiscordJS (which is IMO the easiest language to learn it in, also usually the most up-to-date). If you're not into reading (which is not in the slightest optimal if you wanna learn how to program) then there's probably some DiscordJS tutorials online. Just search DiscordJS tutorials on youtube and you're sure to find one.

https://discordjs.guide is the "official" discord.js guide, you'll find a command handler there. I don't know if it will be more or less complicated than the one youre using.

Also do some debug logging to show that the target it actually being read correctly. But moving to slash commands may work better. There is a really good guide out there. DiscordJS Guide

Well, I recommend you JavaScript, it is good for beginners and there's a lot of content on internet. Once you understand and practice the basics, you can use discord.js to write your bots. They have a guide website if you are interested.

but I use the official discord.js guide cooldown example: https://github.com/discordjs/guide/blob/main/code-samples/additional-features/cooldowns/index.js

https://discordjs.guide has a good tutorial on slash commands

Official guide from the peeps who made DJS: https://discordjs.guide/

Read the discord js guide (https://discordjs.guide/). The answer to your problem is that it takes many hours for global / commands to register. The reason I still recommend the guide is because it gives you an introduction to many of these topics. It's better than a lot of youtube video tutorials and such.

Build an Interpreter (Chapter 14 on is written in C)

I’m guessing you’ll have to work with the scopes in the resolver:

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!

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.

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

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.
