No offense, but the source code for this is wild. It's almost like outsider art. https://github.com/pouyathe/glang/blob/main/source/dub/sourc... Still, I have to respect the dedication it must have taken to get this working. I'm sure you'll go far. My advice to you would be to read Crafting Interpreters by Bob Nystrom (it's free online) and try to apply some of the techniques from it to your project. https://craftinginterpreters.com/

Hi HN, I built G, a lightweight programming language written in D (with a Go interpreter available). It is designed to be memory-safe and super fast, with a tiny footprint (~2.4MB). The most unique aspect of G is its syntax. It doesn't use symbols for comments or complex punctuation for functions. It uses a stack-based approach (similar to concatenative languages) where arguments are passed before the function call. For example, defining an addition function looks like this: fn add_two [@] : + 2 It also comes with Flex, a built-in package manager to handle external libraries (sudo flex add <lib>). I’d love to get feedback on the syntax design and the interpreter architecture. GitHub: https://github.com/pouyathe/glang

Hi HN, I've been working on a programming language called G. It is designed to be memory-safe and extremely fast, with a focus on a tiny footprint. The entire interpreter is written in D and weighs in at only 2.4MB. I built it because I wanted a modern scripting language that feels lightweight but has the safety of a high-level language. Key Features: Small: The binary is ~2.4MB. Fast: Optimized for x86_64. Safe: Memory-safe execution. Std Lib: Includes std.echo, std.newline, etc. GitHub: https://github.com/pouyathe/glang I would love to get some feedback on the syntax or the architecture from the community!
