Show HN: W++ – A Python-style scripting language for .NET with NuGet support

Hey HN I’ve been building *W++*, a scripting language that looks like Python but runs on the .NET runtime. It started as a fun side project, but it evolved into something surprisingly powerful — and potentially useful: Key Features: - Python-style syntax with semicolon-based simplicity - Compiles to .NET IL with experimental JIT support - Can run interpreted or compiled - Built-in CLI for managing projects, running, and building - Supports importing NuGet packages and converts them to .ingot modules automatically - MIT licensed and fully open-source You can even do things like: wpp import Newtonsoft.Json let person = new JObject() person["name"] = "Alice" print person["name"]; Use Cases: Game scripting (Unity, OpenTK support in progress) Education (gentle intro to .NET without C# syntax) Blazor scripting Embeddab
