How to create a programming language?

Question

Hi
I have many idea for create my own programming language but i don't know how to make it, i view some article and i know the base.

Answer 1

Writing your own programming language can be very difficult. Parsing the input and mapping all the variables, methods, etc., is a very advanced topic. Of course you can download many modern language compilers/interpreters from github. But you will find they are created and supported by dozens of professional programmers. Very small script interpreters are perhaps more achievable. But the best advice is to find something similar to what you want and download that source code and learn from that.

The classic usage of a custom language is usually to help users operate a specialized application. For example, you write a robotics package that runs on arduino. Then create a small scripting language that helps the user customize your robotics app with a series of simple commands.

If you really have something big in mind, you should probably do a lot of homework first.

Creating a programming language involves several key steps. Start by defining the purpose and features of your language. Next, design its syntax and grammar, which can be done using tools like BNF (Backus-Naur Form). Then, create a parser to analyze code and an interpreter or compiler to execute it. You can use languages like Python, C++, or Java to build these components. Begin with a small prototype and iterate as you learn.
