​@@CodeNoodlesBro I downloaded yr language but I mnt understanding its not running it is showing many errors like many programs r missing like msvcp1400.dll vcruntime1400.dill ucrtbased.dll etc can u plz tell how to rectify this

[@sinom]

If you want to write a compiled language but don't want to learn about optimization, you can instead write only a compiler frontend that compiles into an intermediate representation and then let a compiler backend like LLVM handle the optimization and machine code generation for you.

[@Zullfix]

I was thinking exactly this as well

[@redstonewizard08]

I used cranelift when I made my language (in rust) and it wasn't too hard, you just gotta get the hang of it

[@KaiHenningsen]

That, or output, for example, C source code which can then be compiled by a C compiler. Bonus: your language is immediately able to talk to existing C code.

[@Azoraqua]

Might as well go a step further and use a parser generator (Bit of a joke, after all, this project is mostly for entertainment and education).

[@vibaj16]

Or you can make your own virtual computer architecture and compile to machine code for that.

Invisible ink would actually go so hard. There are 25 characters in unicode defined as whitespace which is more than enough. Edit: somewhat unsurprisingly it already exists. But the existing version uses only tabs, spaces and newlines so you could definitely get way more user friendly while still being invisible... Though still not at all user friendly

[@CodeNoodles]

That's funny!

[@thatcatthatalwayseatsyourchees]

I may make this thanks for the idea

[@anon_y_mousse]

Indeed there are so many esoteric languages that I'm not surprised you'd never heard of Whitespace. Though my favorite is still the one which I'll censor as BrainF***. It's probably the easiest one to write a compiler or interpreter for that can still perform useful work.

[@KaiHenningsen]

@@anon_y_mousse Was that the one with the "come from" statement, or was that a different one? (Turns out, implementing "come from" correctly introduces threading. Who'dve thought?)

[@anon_y_mousse]

@@KaiHenningsen You're thinking of Intercal. Though, it's not for concurrency, but a sort of backwards goto.

[@BenjaminGoldberg1]

Interpreted Languages like Python and JavaScript, are typically compiled to an internal byte code which is run immediately. Many interpreted languages have a read-eval-print-loop, but that is not the normal way to run code. Some scripting languages used as shells only have a REPL, such as bash on *nix or batch on dos , but these are often not thought of as "real programming languages,"

[@Shuhkky]

This is really cool, I tried creating a mix of python and c# a while ago, it didn't go far but I might try it again

[@CodeNoodles]

That sounds really cool! If you try it again, I wish you luck!

[@robotnik0889]

Nice! It's always such a treat to see people take on this challenge. I build my own lang in C, and string manipulation definitely was a major roadblock XD. Fun watch, hope to see you update it in the future, perhaps you can move from a tree walker (running the AST) to a proper bytecode interpreter, this'll definitely make your language more speedy, even getting it at or above the speed of python!

[@CodeNoodles]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! In the future, I may want to try the bytecode approach.

[@robotnik0889]

[@kplays_6000]

An alternative to having a compiled language translate to machine code is to do what Java does and have it compile into a virtual machine. Kind of a best of both worlds!

[@xyangst]

worst*

[@plaintext7288]

​@@xyangstwhy? Is it because of development speed?

[@anon_y_mousse]

@@plaintext7288 He probably means because you still have to take the step of compiling the code first and it's still slower than a proper compiled language. Though, they've made great strides in JIT development and it's not as bad as it used to be, I'd still rather use C. As far as development speed, that's a knowledge issue because once you learn the correct libraries to use to piece everything together then it's as fast to write a program in a language like C as it is in Java.

[@DigitalViscosity]

@@anon_y_mousse You wouldn't say that about the CLR. A lot of the code is highly optimized and can run faster than the best C code. C# boasts a well defined floating-point model, which aligns seamlessly with the native operational mode of the Floating Point Unit (FPU) and Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) on x86 and x64 processors-a strategic design choice rather than mere coincidence. The Just-In-Time compiler (JITter) efficiently translates Math.Sqrt() into a handful of inline instructions. In contrast, native C/C++ is encumbered by decades of backward compatibility requirements. The compiler options /fp:precise, /fp:fast, and /fp:strict are the most prominent manifestations of this legacy. Consequently, it necessitates invoking a C Runtime (CRT) function to execute sqrt(), which must then verify the selected floating-point options to fine-tune the outcome, resulting in a discernible reduction in speed.

[@oglothenerd]

Next step: make a compiled language using LLVM.

[@danthon1267]

Just wait. Someday I'll make a game using your prog. language

[@anon_y_mousse]

My recommendation for your next attempt, and I hope you have a next attempt, would be to write it in pure C and aim for translating your language into C. Generally they refer to that as transpiling, but it's still technically a compiler, and it has the added benefit of being exceedingly portable because you can use cross platform libraries for all the complex bits of your language. I would also aim for writing a BASIC variant instead of a custom language, but I really only recommend that because that was the first language I wrote a compiler for having nostalgia for QBasic. As far as parsing, consider using an FSM.

[@xanderplayz3446]

I am probably going to modify this to make it “normal” and see how it is. Turning a “esoteric” language into a “practical” language.

[@bunabyt3]

I appreciate your decision to make this in C++ instead of Python, because an interpreted language running on an interpreted language would be catastrophically slow and resource-intensive. I plan to make my own programming language someday: a fusion of Java, Lua, and some of my other favourite languages that compiles to bytecode and runs in a VM. Anyways, nice video! NOTES: The function declaration syntax reminds me a lot of Lua (which uses `function` to define a function, and `end` to finish it), I don't really see that sort of thing in most languages.

[@ThatRandomError]

0:12 im taking this personally

[@Lampe2020]

Well, I'm working on an own compiled esolang, called "arrowey". And I'm just compiling it to LLVM's IR and then let LLVM do the architecture-specific stuff. But I might also make it interpreted (first I have to get an AST generator), to be able to implement it in JS to run inside my own OS simulation. By the way, I'm using LARK to get a parse tree from the source code, which also made it easy to define the syntax, because I could just see the parse tree, adjust and see the new tree.

[@YouTubeName-hw1uk]

How to implement complex stuffs like networking and file system accessing etc .. ?

[@BeginnersAcademy]

you'd have to implement built in functions, which can range from simple implementations like defining a global list of functions at the global scope of the interpreters variable environment/scope, or you could build a more complex library system. Either way whichever route you take youd basically just be creating wrapper functions on top of whatever I/O functionality C++ has.

if you wanna write a compiler you can actually just generate C you acn learn the ins and outs of pure C (no C++ BS) and make your code generator generate C that can theoretically compile anywhere (thats what nelua, nim, etc does)

") else serve(str(num) + " bottles of beer on the wall! ) eat eat eat eat recipe main() bottles(99) eat main() ```

[@CodeNoodles]

Thank you for trying the language out! The number outputed as part of the error message is actually an error number, so it doesn't mention what line the error occurs on. Also, the serve function can take multiple arguments like so: serve(str(num) " bottles of beer on the wall ") ^ Notice the space to separate the arguments Regardless, it's awesome you were able to get something working, despite it being quite inconvenient.

[@jtnoble321]

Step 1 identify performance failures, barriers, and lack of situational suitability in the existing programming languages - e.g. Call speed during certain tasks; bitsize required on RAM for edge computing; etc). Step 2 locate specific features in the existing languages that are sources of failure - e.g. requirement to store a reference table of basic operations and any function specific operations. Step 3 research logic systems used in other fields and products (e.g. Different natural language structures in real foreign languages, or matrix representation and reduction in theoretical mathematics) in order to craft a list of top candidate syntax features that MIGHT alleviate your speed/bit size problem identified in step 1. Theorise the degree of improvement that you can expect to see if you used these candidates - e.g. 50% faster; 30% reduction in bit size. Also determine if you will make sacrifices in other areas of performance, or be able to maintain certain features - e.g. retain lookup of value arrays of greater than 50,000 integers. Step 4 write your new language around those candidate syntax features identified in step 3. In plain English this looks like... My current interpreter language used in my smartwatch operating system requires 30MB of active RAM partitioned in order to be available for any and all health sensor data to be processed concurrently. As a result, a larger physical RAM card is required on the watch to provide sufficient RAM for applications. I believe that by incorporating both a non-deterministic rewriting logic like Java Script and a base 20 integer structure will allow me to reduce sensor partitioning to 17MB. This reduce RAM chip size required by 10% based on modern day RAM chip standard components, further increasing the space available for the battery and therefore simultaneously provide the potential for a further 6% increase in maximum battery capacity based on modern day standard components. And then you make those things.

[@lancemckenzie1074]

Your new programming language does not need to be better in every regard. It can be worse than current languages in most ways, but highly efficient in your target use case (e.g. machine text interpretation). That would make it a specialised language, and you can have many languages for different tasks. You may also create multiple specialised languages to build out a technology stack that, on the whole, provides specific performance improvements in a broader use case (e.g. A.I. text generation from natural language voice commands).
