Very cool! Reading the "Why" section resonated with me, as I think creating one's own language is something every programmer should do for the experience. The syntax flows well, in fact it feels very intuitive for my taste. I like the type inference and no semicolons. I wonder if the latter posed any trickiness, for example, with the next line starting with an expression "(" or operator like "+". I'm also curious about use cases, what is possible with this language. I guess anything assembly can do - which is..everything? :) Would it be suitable to run on microcomputers like Raspberry Pi? EDIT: The Pi and Arduino are typically ARM, it seems, with a different instruction set. Well, that shows how little I know. |

That language flow and general simplicity was one of my most important goals. Thanks for noticing :)
No, I had no problems regarding that. What you mention ('+', '(') are all part of simple expressions when parsing. And I strictly parse right recursive and re-order the expressions later (for operator priority). So that was not an issue. Most of these problems I solved, by making my parser a lookahead of >1. In a few cases, there is a lookahead of 3 to determine what exactly should be parsed.
I guess anything, that can run an X86-64 Elf executable? ;) Although there is still a lot missing, for it to be taken serious. Starting with strings, files, input, ... But thats for another time or whenever I need it, I guess.
