  • Peridot Paper Preprint
    1 project | /r/ProgrammingLanguages | 5 Sep 2022
    I've mostly finished up a preprint of a research paper on Peridot, my programming language! It still needs some work, but I'm happy enough with it to post it. If you have any questions or suggestions don't hesitate to tell me here. I would love feedback :-)

    I'm finishing up with Peridot! The research goals of the project are close to being accomplished, so I'll be wrapping up soon. I'm really satisfied with it as a proof-of-concept for the ideas it implements. The last main bit of the project is a research paper I'm writing which details the language and its applications in detail.
  • Peridot MVP
    2 projects | /r/ProgrammingLanguages | 8 Aug 2022
    Hey all! I've been working on my programming language Peridot for about six months, and it's finally at the point where I can call it an MVP! Peridot is a language in which the compiler backend is implemented in userspace via metaprogramming.

    The Peridot MVP is feature-complete! All that's left to do are bugfixes, after which it will be a real, usable language. Here's the major features, in no particular order:
  • A Typed Foundation for Directional Logic Programming

    I'm not aware of any current implementations, but I'll be implementing it in my language, Peridot. Unfortunately that won't be for a few months though.
  • How did you choose the name for your programming language?

    The second was called Konna. AFAIK it’s Finnish for “frog”, but sources seem to disagree? I don’t speak Finnish, I got the word from a Finnish video game. My third and current language is called Peridot. I’m pretty proud of this name, although it’s less searchable than the previous ones. The origin is pretty simple, I was just looking around at gemstones and thought peridot looked neat.
  • Peridot: A functional language based on two-level type theory

    Hey! I'm Peridot's author. Peridot is a language based on two-level type theory which allows for the compiler backend to be written in userspace. The language is really two languages tied together: a logic language, and a dependently typed functional language. The former is built for metaprogramming - high-level optimizers and compilers can be written that translate the latter language into a target language of choice. An in-depth explanation of the language's rationale can be found here.
