Making a programming language - Fixing enums

[@seppotaalasmaa3404]

Who needs a programming language anyway? one could just do ones and zeros like this: 0010100101010101010101000101

It's truly all just syntactic sugar

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

Too much boilerplate superfluous stuff. You need to trim it down A LOT! Get rid of semicolons, colons and "type", "fn", "let", "val". Replace print with "?" or something similar, but simple. Have only 1 datatype that corresponds to a byte and BUILD upon that to make the other types by using OOP principles. BTW: do you have ANY formal training in compiler design?

This feels like a sarcastic post, but it's hard to tell these days

[@KolemanNix]

Indeed, the part about turning a Byte into other types using OOP was my favorite part. Also completely missing that we were looking at a very contrived sample program that was explicitly exercising every combination of explicitly passed vs inferred type parameters
