  • July 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
    10 projects | /r/ProgrammingLanguages | 1 Jul 2022
    Last month I worked on the language ABI (Application Binary Interface). This is where I have made an effort to make modules buildable and exportable (into dynamic shared libraries) to the language interpreter. I call the build environment for these modules the SDK (software development kit). It is a Meson project that supports not just Unix based platforms but also Windows. Before this month, one could only export functions in modules, but now one can include classes also. For me this felt very good, as I would expect of a language to support as much in the SDK as possible of the original script-language data types. Here is a link to an example module library written in C that can be compiled for export into the language interpreter: https://github.com/Ricardicus/ric-script/blob/master/src/sdk_lib/ext_lib.c

    Continued work on my interpreter for [ric-script](https://github.com/Ricardicus/ric-script) which is an interpreted dynamically typed and lazy evaluated language. Imagine Javascript without semicolon and Python without the indentation thing. I build the syntax tree using yacc. Here is a [code sample](https://ric-script-u5ep8.ondigitalocean.app/doc/syntaxwalkthrough.html#class-declarations) where I build an RPN calculator in it. I’d appreciate the dopamine kick of a star if you find the project interesting.
  • How can I support very big integers?
    6 projects | /r/ProgrammingLanguages | 22 Sep 2021
    I am developing an interpreter for a language which currently use signed 32-bit values for integers. I was thinking about supporting big numbers, like 1024 bit values. I have implemented everything I C. Does anyone know of any good libraries in C I could use for this? Preferably I search for smaller projects I can build from source to incorporate in the interpreter. I have googled gmp but it’s source is 19 MB and supports FFT and stuff. I would like something that just supports basic arithmetic; multiplication, addition etc.

    Thanks again for this tip! I have now implemented it in my project . Here is a sample. I can print ridiculous calculation such as 81^1000 now :)

    Thank you all! I have made it work now in my project . A sample script can be found here .

    I continuing with building my first programming language. It is an interpreted dynamically typed and lazy evaluated language. It is like a merge of python and javascript, imagine Python except the focus on indentation. I build the syntax tree using yacc. Here is a code sample where I build an RPN calculator in it. The source repository is here, I’d appreciate the dopamine kick of a star if you like it.

  • What is your favourite programming language? (other than Scala)

    I would say Kuroko makes more sense ;-P

    Kuroko, it's basically python, but has code block / scope that makes more sense

    Kuroko 1.3.0 gets a release candidate. Lots of big things since 1.2.5, like optimized method invocation, more operator overloads, better support for f-string expressions (format specs, =, faster constructions), a long type with my own bigint implementation (this was the last thing I was still regularly opening Python repls for, so a huge personal win). I also fixed a bunch of little things that have been nagging me, like the compiler can now compile expressions directly, which allowed me to remove the kludge that made the repl work previously. The WASM web repl also got some love with a port of the core of Hiwire from Pyodide, giving a very straightforward interface between JS and Kuroko in a browser - and I rebuilt the web IDE on it. I've also been working on a new compiler, which will hopefully form the basis of 2.0 - and this might be the last 1.x release (though I expect at least a few 1.3.x bug fix releases).
  • Announcing: PonyOS 8
    3 projects | /r/osdev | 31 Mar 2022
    In case it's not clear, PonyOS is a joke reskin of my serious OS project, ToaruOS. PonyOS gets a new release every April 1st. All of the libraries and applications in ToaruOS are in-house things I built myself - the whole OS is "built from scratch". PonyOS adds ponysay, which is an external app originally written in Python - and in previous releases of PonyOS I shipped the Python version alongside a port of Python 3.6. This release, though, comes with a port to my own language, Kuroko, which is a dialect of Python - a lot of what went into building the PonyOS release this year was getting ponysay to work well.

    Did this year's Advent of Code in Kuroko which sussed out some bugs and missing functionality. Better hashing for tuples, more builtins and methods on standard classes for improved compatibility with Python, general build cleanups. In the later problems, most suffering was caused by the GC, so I'd like to put more thought into collection strategies going forward.
