What are some cool things you've built using your own language?

1. Pipefish

   1 36 163 9.9 Go

   Source code for the Pipefish programming language

   I'm not sure what counts as cool. It's just dogfooding at the moment. I did a bunch of other languages (only the BASIC and the Forth are up to date with the current version of the language I think), and I did a tiny adventure game (and used it as the basis for a tutorial).

   Solving Advent of Code with jq

   I used the Advent of Code 2022 problems as a way to test out my Jactl language. Have solved them all and written a blog post about most of them. It was a lot of fun to actually use my own language to solve "real world" problems as opposed to simple tests and it did lead to a few minor improvements such as using negative indices to express an offset from the end of a collection. E.g. x[-1] instead of x[x.size() -1] to access the last element.

6. flora

   5 1 8 3.3 OCaml

   A pure embeddable functional programming language with algebraic effects and direct access to evaluation environments (by Innf107)

   In fact, I'm in the process of adapting the curently quite ad-hoc templating system to use another language of mine right now.

7. openflow

   A ventilation system built around Itho Daalderop's DemandFlow system, written in Inko (by yorickpeterse)

   A program that controls my central ventilation system. The code isn't as nice as I wanted due to having to avoid various bugs, but that's something I hope to fix in the near future.
