Hey guys, have any of you tried creating your own language using Python? I'm interested in giving it a shot and was wondering if anyone has any tips or resources to recommend. Thanks in advance!

  • backrooms

    3D, CISC Architecture and Esolang (by cmcmarrow)

  • ppci

    A compiler for ARM, X86, MSP430, xtensa and more implemented in pure Python

    • It's not super maintained but you might enjoy building something with ppci, Pure Python Compiler Infrastructure. It has some front-ends and some back-ends. There's also PeachPy for an assembler. People like using Lark for parsing, I hear.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • PeachPy

    x86-64 assembler embedded in Python

    • It's not super maintained but you might enjoy building something with ppci, Pure Python Compiler Infrastructure. It has some front-ends and some back-ends. There's also PeachPy for an assembler. People like using Lark for parsing, I hear.

  • Lark

    Lark is a parsing toolkit for Python, built with a focus on ergonomics, performance and modularity.

  • Essentials-of-Compilation

    A book about compiling Racket and Python to x86-64 assembly

    • One of the best (free/open source) books for learning how to write a compiler is Essentials of Compilation. It comes in two flavors: Racket and Python. I'm less familiar with the Python version, but it might be what you're looking for.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
