Let's face it, your computer is a dude, and not just a regular dude, he's a real bro.
"Totally" - Edgar Allen Bro
And that's the thing that humanity failed to realise thus far,
we've been trying to talk to our computer with obscure languages like: JavaScript, Java, C#, Python, Ruby and even C++. Which are bloody strange, and compiled to an even stranger things like asm and eventually to 1's and 0's, which thought to be 'native'.
But a computer isn't a heartless thing, taking orders from binary seqeunces. So a real, 'native', language was needed.
Finally you can speak to your computer directly.
For example, ask it to do some sweet fibronacci computation:
dude check dat fib. it wants the (d)
if (d < 3) i would totally
1
whatever ill just
fib(d-1) + fib(d-2);
Currently it's just a glorified fork of chapter 7 from Stephen Diehl's great tutorial on "Implementing a JIT Compiled Language with Haskell and LLVM".
But in due time, the language will beacome a robust and full-featured kickass(ing) tool, which in the right hands, can achieve greatness.
- Translate the entire existing syntax
- Actually read the tutorial
- Introduce more types
- Docs
- Create a dude friendly compiler
- Transform the syntax to a more pythonic one(?)
- Benchmarks
- Add vim + sublime support
- Force JetBrains to support it
- Watch some Fight Club
While this clearly is a case of a bad joke, experimenting with this kind of syntax has raised some interesting thoughts on developing an 'English' programming language, for educational purposes.
As I'll evolve this language, I think we could really see some interesting and clear code snippets
