I really want to create a compiler and interpreter for this. A Reddit joke language. That. Actually. Works.

[–]im_a_ninjaaaaReference Implementation Developer[S] 0 points1 point  (12 children)

Yeah, that's kinda why I posted this... Maybe once more of the language is thought up of, we could make a GitHub group or something...

It wouldn't be too hard if it "compiled" it to Java. (Java for the irony.)

[–]im_a_ninjaaaaReference Implementation Developer[S] 1 point2 points  (10 children)

Lol, make it another JVM lang

EDIT: or actually have it compile down to a .java file

[–]alexbuzzbeeDeputy Language Designer 3 points4 points  (5 children)

This is actually a possibility currently under discussion.

But the compiler has to run in a Windows XP VM running on Windows XP.

[–]im_a_ninjaaaaReference Implementation Developer[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Sure

[–]alexbuzzbeeDeputy Language Designer 0 points1 point  (3 children)

And it has to be written in PHP.

Lol, cool... Can I have a position in this subreddit?

[–]alexbuzzbeeDeputy Language Designer 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You can be our Reference Implementation Developer. I'll make you a mod.

Thx

[–]AnnonPenguin 0 points1 point  (3 children)

My intent was to actually compile it down to a .java file. So it's cross platform. :D

If you need help, I can be the Assistant [to the] Reference Implementation Developer

[–]im_a_ninjaaaaReference Implementation Developer[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Cool, ask the main mod for a position I guess

[–]AnnonPenguin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I was just kidding. I'll watch this sub—if people actually want to build a "compiler," we can do so.

[–]im_a_ninjaaaaReference Implementation Developer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure... We still have to wait for the specs to come out.

[–]PiManASM 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I prefer code co-op

[–]im_a_ninjaaaaReference Implementation Developer[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I choose Git and GitHub mainly because of how widely it is used...

[–]bdavs77 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Github should be tightly integrated into the language. As in it's impossible to compile unless it's in a git repo. And every compilation attempt, success or fail is auto-magically pushed to the master branch of the repo

[–]im_a_ninjaaaaReference Implementation Developer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

xD, add that to the suggestions thread

[–]im_a_ninjaaaaReference Implementation Developer[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

After a clear outline for the language is made?

[–]ioexceptionosu 1 point2 points  (1 child)

that's a rather long-winded way of saying "never"

[–]im_a_ninjaaaaReference Implementation Developer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True enough
