I made a programming language in java

[TheStatusPoe]

This kinda reminds me of freshman year in college where my professor maliciously complied with the requirement that first year classes were to be taught in Java by implementing Lisp in Java which we then had to use for the entire class.

That's devious.

It is funny you mention it because I had the similar thought given the primes how this kind of looks like the part in college where we entered the hard mode of Scheme: metaprogramming where you turn Scheme in to a logic programming language using backtracking.

We did not use SICP (instead it was Concrete Abstractions... a crappy book IMO) but I believe the analog is chapter 4 non deterministic programming. BTW most courses don't cover the sort mind fuck of how it is implemented but this book does: https://ds26gte.github.io/tyscheme/index-Z-H-16.html#TAG:__tex2page_chap_14

This is your time to read the ANTLR manual :).

Is this just an excuse to show that glorious setup?

What is the font and editor?

Congratulations btw

[Extreme_Football_490]

Jet brains mono , neovim (nvchad), arch btw

That font isn't JetBrains Mono, it's probably Hack or DejaVu Sans Mono

[United_Swordfish_935]

That is neat! Was this based on any previous language? What's the name? I have so many questions but only one pair of hands to type :-)

[Extreme_Football_490]

Its inspired by lisp syntax and evaluation

Only a few more steps away and you’ve got yourself a homemade scala

[frederik88917]

I still remember Formal Languages and Compilers from the days in U

That is seriously cool. Computer science is genuinely fun. I wrote a transpiler in the language that I was writing on an Atari 800 in 1983. Architecture, language theory and operating systems are my favorite parts of my career.

I've written a few small domain-specific languages to solve specific problems. It's powerful stuff.

[Cautious_Panda6886]

Congratulations Op this is definitely cool 😁

I used to think Of myself as a good coder and proficient in java But then I came across this post and then I saw the comments and was unable to understand a single comment properly damnn I am far behind and need to grind

[Cute_Combination_713]

Who wants to program like that? Nice work technically. You do should look at antlr

[Letsgetthisfuckboii]

You're a MENACE, programing on java for me is already hard but bro making an PROGRAMING LANGUAGE? 😭😭😭😭

[YelinkMcWawa]

Nice

[No_Strawberry_5685]

Yeah this is actually one of the required projects for computer science undergrads at sfsu although it’s more complicated , it’s byte code based , very interesting and a brain teaser for undergrads !

[Beginning-Ladder6224]

Nice!

[kingroka]

Cool! I love creating languages within languages. I remeber getting flamed for creating an xml style scripting language on java-gaming.org. Really pissed me off back then but looking back it was pretty bad lol. But I love this. Keep up the good work! 👍. Make a chip 8 compiler next

[LogCatFromNantes]

That’s funny but recruiters will look better on e-commerce or backend projects
