>> Challenge: Create your own programming language in the playground! >>

Question

First, decide on what code you want you use as an anchor. You could use Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, C#, PHP etc... The language doesn't matter. However, you must understand your anchoring language. You must also understand your goal.

Secondly, take a piece of paper and write a rough draft of how your code looks like. Once you have done that, you can practice your anchor code.

Finally, if you want to publish your language, create it as a single folder. Example:
[name]---[anchor]
---[main]

Answer 1

idk about the ->, that's an existing operator that i don't know how to (if it's possible) override to do what you want, but here

Answer 2

That is really difficult task 😞

Answer 3

Amazing @Lil!

Answer 4

WOW! @LunarCoffee! That code is nice!

Answer 5

I have an idea for a syntax if anyone wants one:

BASICS
---------
Every statement ends with a semicolon.
say(string message) is for outputting text. Does not include newline.
\n is newline.
listen() returns string from input

SETTINGS VARIABLES
----------------------------
Variables are statically typed, and caps sensitive.

int x = 5;
string hey = "Hello!";
const string ants = "are useful";

CONDITIONS - IF
---------------------
bool success = true;
on success -> {
say("Yo!");
}

CONDITIONS - ELSE
-------------------------
bool success = false;
on success -> {
say("True!");
} other {
say("False!");
}

CONDITIONS - ELSE IF
----------------------------
int number = 3;
on number == 3 -> {
say("Three!");
} otherwise number == 1 -> {
say("One!");
} other {
say("I don't know...");
}

LOOPS - WHILE
--------------------
int number = 3;
while number < 10 -> {
say(number);
}

you can add more on that, this is just the base.

Answer 6

This is not a programming language created by myself but this is how I'd do to make it (I mean the C++ thing)

Answer 7

thanks :D

Answer 8

I'll give this a go sometime, but watch this space for a very, very long time while I create it!

Answer 9

UPDATE!!!!!!!
I HAVE A WAY!
I just have a question...

when a user writes ~include {example.ext} it will include example.ext
Now. it is an interpreted language and I'm using C as its output file.

I'm using batch to write everything out. Here's the problem:
How do I use the filename? I know this:
%~fI

...but I don't want to use the I variable in my language to include files. I also only want the filename.

Is there a solution?
Thanks!
