guide VS the-super-tiny-compiler

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.

Now, those concepts are a whole entire world to explore, and this is out of the scope of this article. I suggest the reading of the Chapters 4, 5 and 6 of the book Crafting Interpreters by Robert Nystrom for a wider (but still practical) understanding of those subjects. Another practical great resource to look at is The SuperTiny Compiler. To explore them from a theorical point of view, you can find A LOT of resources from books or courses online.

The super tiny compiler by Jamie

I am currently writing a much more intricate version of the Super Tiny Compiler (https://github.com/jamiebuilds/the-super-tiny-compiler) in Rust, only I plan on handling many basic operations, essentially a compiler for a MUCH simpler version of Go. Great project idea btw, for anyone who wants to explore compilers. But in doing so, have really found a new respect for just what is going on when you gcc -o garbageprogram mytrashcode.c

Here, at least take this floatie: https://github.com/jamiebuilds/the-super-tiny-compiler

Outside of this, I recently learned about The Super Tiny Compiler which was a project written to be read. Mind you, it has a vast amount of comments, which may be more of a leg-up than you're asking for.

You could start here:

That converts from lisp-like to javascript. Really though this is a big field, and there are lots of resources out there.

To get started look at your input language; you'll need to lex and parse that. Then massage the parsed structure into the appropriate output.

You can see me convert brainfuck to C, or x86 assembly language here:
