  • vigil

    Vigil, the eternal morally vigilant programming language

    • I was reading about some of the languages created by Bob Nystrom, such as Finch, Wren, Vigil and Magpie, mainly after seeing a new Wren track on exorcism and checking the language out. Yet that got me thinking, do many people create programming languages for a hobby/learning experience?

  • Wren

    The Wren Programming Language. Wren is a small, fast, class-based concurrent scripting language.

  • Jinx

    Embeddable scripting language for real-time applications

    • My scripting language Jinx was made both as a learning experience and because of my dissatisfaction with current embeddable scripting languages. It was also my first open source project, so I leaned a lot not just about building a language, and how much work that entails, but also about building documentation, support, tools (like CI actions in Github), and so on.

  • funl

    FunL programming language

  • Crafting Interpreters

    Repository for the book "Crafting Interpreters"

    • This book for compiler design, this one to build my own Lisp like language, and this one on crafting interpreters.
