Finally. Fuck the exams (eventhough they went quite well). At last I can start work on my scripting language

Well what language are you writing it in?

@Pyjong I don't know yet. I'm just at the design stage. The inital idea was to make something running on the JVM, now I'm thinking a custom polyglot VM that can also run Java. That will be in Rust or C. Rust is probably a cool idea though

@12bitfloat Aha, I see. So what's the special feature? :) If there is one and you want to tell me ofc

@Pyjong I haven't found a beautiful, quick, strongly-typed scripting language that I like

@12bitfloat Will your language use curly braces? Or are you more into indentation beauty?

@Pyjong Definitely braces. I don't really like semantic whitespace

@12bitfloat Phew, great :)

@Pyjong I fully expected you to say the opposite thing :D

@12bitfloat Nah I've had to work with Python for a while now and I pretty much hate it. Not as much for the indentation, but I sure wish instead of spaces it'd force programmers into commenting the code. In large code base it becomes a pain to lookup function calls without named parameters.

@Pyjong Yeah I don't like Python all that much either. And the fact I have to use it at work certainly is part of the motivation for my language :D

@12bitfloat Then I wish you the best of luck in your quest young hero! Treasures and glory await you!

@Pyjong Thanks! Hopefully I will be victorious but a custom VM is no easy task

@12bitfloat this might be helpful https://youtube.com/playlist/...

EDIT: it's in C++, but you should be able to translate it to whatever you're using

@Krokoklemme Thanks, I'll check it out
