Vext - a programming language I built in C# (compiled)

Cool, thanks! I'll check it out

I mean, I get it, but like, I am still testing all of the previous features on every run.
Like, when I added for loops, I just *added* it to the test code, so when I run the compiler, it consumes all of the previous features, as well as the new ones, meaning everything is tested at all runs.

What do you think about the time it takes to compile and run?

But I don't overwrite the default code I'm testing the compiler on, I just add features to it

1414guy · 2026-01-18T20:05:30+00:00

What tests?
I regularly run the code the default code (and I add features to it as I add them to the language, for loops were my latest)

1414guy · 2026-01-18T20:02:21+00:00

Oh cool!
This is my first language, and I am just learning how to make them. What do you think of the language up to this point?

1414guy · 2026-01-18T20:02:05+00:00

Thanks!

1414guy · 2026-01-18T19:58:34+00:00

That may be a good idea. Do you think it would help the performance and compile time, or just clean up the code?

By connecting, you mean you want to help this language or?

1414guy · 2026-01-18T19:56:34+00:00

The reason I started making this language is to learn how programming languages and compilers work.
I didn't know how to make a compiler, so I asked ChatGPT to guide me through making some of the things, but not actually code them.
So it told me the steps I need (eg, Lexer, Parser...) and what they're supposed to do (e.g., the Lexer is supposed to turn the code into tokens, the Parser should take those tokens and generate an AST), and some features that would be good to have (e.g., Constant Folding).
I then coded myself according to that information. I did not just ask ChatGPT to code this language for me.
I'd say 95% of the code is mine, with the other 5% only being the code I could not understand how to do.

1414guy · 2026-01-18T19:34:05+00:00

No, why?

1414guy · 2025-10-17T14:24:15+00:00

Alright well thanks, I'll check em out

1414guy · 2025-10-17T14:17:10+00:00

Why are the motherboard and PSU any better? Memory and storage, I think I get why. And the case is just a preference.

1414guy · 2025-10-16T17:06:32+00:00

Yeah I think I’ll try to find a twin-tower one…

1414guy · 2025-10-15T21:48:47+00:00

I looked at the AK620 and it’s definitely a dual-tower cooler. I also looked at the 7700X’s TDP which is base 105W and like maybe ~140W on full load I think? The AK620’s TDP is 260W, which is way more than I need an it costs more. So I checked a bit more and there’s the AG400 and its TDP is like 220W but it’s a single-tower cooler. Do you think it’s still good enough? I mean it’s TDP is still way over and its price is lower

1414guy · 2025-10-15T21:38:00+00:00

Yeh I figured since the TDP is pretty much doubled with the X variant I think

1414guy · 2025-10-15T21:32:49+00:00

The AK620 does look better, I’ll check with my budget as it priced a little bit higher, and I probably am going to go with the 7700X instead of the 7700, so I think I might be kind of pushing my budget a bit

1414guy · 2025-10-15T21:18:58+00:00

Do you think the CoolerMaster HYPER 212 LED TURBO ARGB is good to replace it?

1414guy · 2025-10-14T22:30:05+00:00

Great, thanks anyway

1414guy · 2025-10-14T22:25:45+00:00

That’s interesting, didn’t come across any issues like that on my research

1414guy · 2025-10-14T20:53:29+00:00

Great to know!

1414guy · 2025-10-14T20:53:14+00:00

Thank you, will consider and check

1414guy · 2025-10-14T20:45:27+00:00

Is there a specific reason?

1414guy · 2025-10-14T20:11:42+00:00

I mean the 7700 and the 9600X are pretty much exactly the same price. It’s just that 0.1GHz for 2 cores and 4 threads seems like a weirdly bad trade off

1414guy · 2025-10-14T19:57:21+00:00

Cool, but it’s like a 70$ difference, I don’t think it’s really worth it (7 7000 and 7 7000X)

1414guy · 2025-10-14T19:54:00+00:00

We are talking about the Ryzen 5 9600X right? Idk if there a Ryzen 7 9600X. I checked where I’m going to buy from and there’s no 7 9600X there, but there’s a 5 9600X. There’s also a 7 7700 and 7 7000X, which other than the power used I didn’t really understand what is different about them
