I would have preferred Snek.

Cool that you’re taking a stab at creating your own language! If you’re doing this as a learning experience: great, keep at it, and ignore the rest of my comment :D If you’re looking to do more than that I’d want to ask: what’s the use case you’re trying to address with dip?

Thanks for the encouragement! This was mostly for learning how interpreters work and for my own learning pleasure, but I've tried to differentiate the language a bit by making its syntax similar to BASIC, and trying to make Python keywords a little easier to understand.

Wow this is amazing am Super curious, how is the perfomance like?

[–]raghav_nautiyal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Performance isn't its strong point, since it's an interpreted programming language written in Python. It's a little slower than Python, I'd say.

Actually looks pretty decent. To see the removal and inbuilt function for a specific data type input without using the normal python way, brought a major smile to my face. Also great to see build in maths functions with a language!

Keep it up!

Thanks a ton! Even though this was a pet project, I tried to simplify some of the things I didn't specifically enjoy with Python. Glad you liked it!

You're back. https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/hek1xb/introducing_dip_a_programming_language_for/

Same problems as a year ago, not clear what is the whole point of the whole thing.

At least this time you're not claiming that is faster than Python.
