and thanks for inviting me to this community! I’m from Finland, M.S. in computer science (algorithms), and I have 25+ years experience in programming. I have used home-made scripting and bytecode systems in my own projects, and making my own language have since become my passion!
My main project is a scripting and bytecode language, which is multi-platform, stand-alone, compact, expandable, and hopefully practical and easy to use. I’m not so much of an expert of existing tools, but I know something about creating a language from scratch
I’m looking forward to hearing what other people here are doing, and share thoughts on language engineering!
Yes, sure!
Here’s an online editor: http://www.meanscript.net/m.html
When you run a script, (verbose) debug texts on the right give you some hints how it works internally.
There’s a short reference to the syntax, and some example scripts (“load”).
Some presentation sheets and a video (Meanscript & C++) on the main page: http://www.meanscript.net
I’ve written it mostly in C-like code with macros, and then run it thru GCC precompiler to generate C++, Java, and C# code. The online editor is made with GWT that translates Java to Javascript.
