  Gaiman: Text based game engine and programming language

It's not working yet, I've started making PEG.js grammar that will output JSON that I will interpret my simple interpreter, I've had working first version of this. But then I realize that I can just generate JavaScript code that would be more fun. So I've started refactoring the code to make it generate JS code but I din't even finished rewriting original code. You can take a look at the project if you want https://github.com/jcubic/gaiman

• aulang

  5 37 0.0 C

  simple and fast scripting language

  

A lot has changed about my language Aument since I last posted it, with highlights include first-class function values, a dictionary data type, an expanded standard library and native support for importing bindings in .dll and .so files (my personal favorite). I'm currently working on a return-based exception system inspired by C++'s std::expected, where functions can return a normal value, or "raise an exception" (return an error value). This should integrate better with C compared to actual exceptions.

• InfluxDB

• processing

  456 6,445 0.0 Java

  Source code for the Processing Core and Development Environment (PDE)

  

It was an intense effort. After that I wanted to get back to working on RL agents, but ended up just playing around with UIs and Processing. While studying Kivy I was surprised how much overlap UI drawing and Processing had, so I played around with both. I was really supposed to be working on ML, but this somehow happened. I got some benefit out of this though. Check out the Spiral logo, I wrote the code to generate it in Processing. Though it took me way too much time, I learned quite a bit about computer graphics. It was a fun little diversion, the kind of programming I did there anybody could do, and even Java's mediocre type system was not a hindrance. The typical workflow in Processing is to make a small change and then run the sketch, then see the effect of the changes. This is not my usual workflow - when redesigning Spiral's editor support for the first half of the month, I spent two weeks writing code without running the compiler even once. Writing code for a long time without running it is not that rare for me. In contrast, what I did here which gave me instant feedback was refreshing.

• The-Spiral-Language

  33 903 9.6 Python

  Functional language with intensional polymorphism and first-class staging.

• delta

  1 125 2.2 C++

  C* is a hybrid low-level/high-level systems programming language focused on performance and productivity. (by delta-lang)

  

I started writing a scripting language using Delta, a systems programming language I'm working on. This was helpful to get some real-world use testing, and squash some compiler bugs.

• xvm

  110 189 9.8 Java

  Ecstasy and XVM

  

SkipListMap - very cool data structure (used for database transaction processing)

• kuroko

  11 403 8.8 Python

  Discontinued Dialect of Python with explicit variable declaration and block scoping, with a lightweight and easy-to-embed bytecode compiler and interpreter.

  

• 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.

  

• yasl

  2 64 4.7 C

  Bytecode Interpreter for Yet Another Scripting Language (YASL).

  

Work on YASL has been going well this month: - I got a random contributor (maybe someone from this sub) who solved an issue and submitted a PR (thanks!) - I've been writing a package manager for YASL, in YASL, in order to test out YASL better; this has found a few minor bugs which I'm grateful for. - I've been writing a few libraries for YASL (e.g. complex numbers, big ints, TOML library) to test out said package manager + YASL itself; this has been going great too!

• bluebird

  1 - -

I added references to my Ada-like language, bluebird, which are a heavily restricted form of pointers that must be given an object as an initial value and cannot be returned or stored in records. I also added support for assigning to array elements.

• calypso

  5 62 0.0 Rust

  Calypso is a mostly imperative language with some functional influences that is focused on flexibility and simplicity.

  

I've (still) been working on Calypso, a mostly imperative language with some functional influences that is focused on flexibility and simplicity. I've written a few blog posts about it and things related to it.

Apart from the language I also built a simple website for Aument, a JSON parser in Aument and incomplete bindings for libuv.

This week I managed to get the main idea -- compile time pre-condition verification -- working in an end-to-end example. See some trivial examples in the tests here.

• GermanSkript

  1 7 1.8 Kotlin

  Eine interpretierte, objektorientierte, statisch typisierte Programmiersprache, die sich wie Deutsch schreibt.

I am very interested in this topic because I created GermanSkript. An objectoriented, interpreted, strongly typed programming language which incorporates parts of the German language in its grammar. It's a prototype created in Kotlin. I really have created it with no real plan for its use. Using it as a teaching language was kinda always in the back of my mind and therefore I research about teaching languages right now to get some inspiration for GermanSkript.

• Dictu

  9 268 9.5 C

  Dictu is a high-level dynamically typed, multi-paradigm, interpreted programming language.

  

I've been working on Dictu (https://github.com/dictu-lang/Dictu) which is a high-level general purpose language, with inspiration from languages around it such as Python. While working on Dictu, I find it's obviously nice to implement things with the language being created so i made an automatic watering system with the code written in Dictu! While doing so, things like syntax highlighting and whatnot is pretty much a must have, so i've also been wrestling with creating a VSC extension and learning all about LSP!

• fatcoach

  5 6 0.0 CSS

FatCoach is an experimental project for a Back-End as a Service (BaaS) framework (using the Kotlin language) which abstracts the underlying SQL database from Front-End developers. Sharing a similar purpose to GraphQL (on a client perspective); however, with a different philosophy and architecture.

• CSLY

  a C# embeddable lexer and parser generator (.Net core)

first reddit post. i am working for some time now on a C# parser generator : CSLY I wanted a parser generator as easy to use as possible and compact enough. I ve succesfully used it professionaly as a mean to introduce scripting capabilities in a payroll software.

I am working on a natural language programming language! Will soon post a launch announcement on this subreddit. I currently call it the Quantleaf Language.Here is a small a small introduction to the syntax which will be available!

• monkey-c-monkey-do

  2 24 5.0 C

  Discontinued C implementation of the Monkey programming language. Repository moved to Sourcehut.

Started working on my bytecode compiler & VM for Monkey (highly recommend the books btw, explained a lot of magic to me) again to see if I can squeeze some more performance gains out of it and get it ready to use it to solve next year's Advent of Code in it.
