Let's make a new programming language!

Off-topic stuff!

Let's make a new programming language!

Postby Frostified » Thu Sep 20, 2012 8:36 pm

Exactly what it says on the tin. Let's try and make a new programming language!
Ok, this language will be called ICE+:
Integrated Computing Extravaganza+
Let's set up some code terms and stuff etc.
I'll start.
if you put hello.world into the console, you get a nice friendly message:
"Fucku, the world has enough people".

Let's add some more to our language!

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to make a programming language?

I am actually making a programming language, but I need help from the community.

Creating a programming language is more than just saying "Hey lets make X do Y!"

You have to define a grammar first, then start writing a compiler. Then write some basic libraries for your language if you want it to be useful at all.

Take a look at some already defined standards:
http://www.ecma-international.org/publi ... ma-334.htm
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/

These should give you an idea as to what a programming language is. Then you can start defining standards for your language.

That is the simplified explanation. If only Seb could see this.

OP is trying to create a fun non-serious thread, people jump in in an attempt to feel superior and correct him on something even they don't quite understand. Standard AoS forum procedure.

Diz how we roll.

Well it appeared as a serious thread to me.

And one does not need to know how to create a programming language to know it's hard. I have first hand experience trying to create a compiler for an existing language and that was hard. Creating your own grammar and a compiler. Well let's just come back in a few years and see how you're doing.

Was that just... Did I get told? :(

Stuff like creating a turing complete language is best left to people with talent, just as well as complete fuck-around joke threads should be left to people with a sense of humor if you catch my drift. Oh well, it's already a train wreck.
