Insert <it’s not much but it’s honest work> meme. It only supports ints and bools, some logic and simple arithmetics and it compiles to Java but damn was it hard to get that far.
Can you guess what everything does?
Vibe check is your scope declaration (class?)
num is obviously your int class
fr? is your Boolean class
if __ no cap is ’ if __ then’, if cap is ‘else’, sheesh ends the conditional
flex __ on the haters is your echo/print
frfr is your scope ending
Correct!
Vibe check is pretty much the scope. Classes aren’t a thing (yet).

Reading this comment and then looking up and seeing that your username ends with PDP11 was *chef’s kiss*
We think alike friend
Don’t lose your passion, doing things the shit old way can also make you a better programmer in the newer paradigms
Although, I recommend you at least learn C++23
I choose option C, eclipse xtext
It’s so beautiful!
Now I’m thinking about how to alias “flex X on the haters” into other development environments…
Is flex X on the haters a way of logging to console?
Yes, it pretty much just wraps the expression in a “System.out.println(<expression>);”
Maybe “flex X” outputs to stdout and “flex X on the haters” outputs to stderr?
I like the way you think! 😂
flex X on the foolsdoes verbose logs only.I’m curious to know how your language throws and catches errors :)
Oh metaprogramming! I’m doing a dissertation on this.
Very cool, I’d be interested in your publications once you’re done. I like metaprogramming, but once you realise you might have needed it, you’re already knee deep in fresh legacy code.
You essential have a compiler written through metaprogramming. For your implementation, did you use a find and replace or did you define and parse a grammar like a true compiler.
MPS uses projectional editing. Which means for the user that everything you do is free from concrete syntax, and you basically edit a graphical representation of that abstract syntax tree directly, while it looks like you’re in a textual editor.
So I define abstract nodes that may have certain relationships with each other and then give them a representation in the editor (which is what you see in the screenshot). These nodes may also have generators assigned to them, which use map/reduce operations to generate whatever source code I desire. It usually includes its own bit of code, and triggers code generation of its children as well.
I hope that was somehow clear 😄
It’s really cool, but the example doesn’t produce any sensible output? If you have created something like this, why wouldn’t you have your demo output something sensible like Fibonacci or 1337 or whatever.
Great idea if I have to extend it
I’m opening an issue on your ticket tracker to add filesystem i/o. Let the nightmare commence
I swear, Zoomers are like the steve buscemi “fellow kids” meme, but somehow everyone in the scene is young
Anyway, nice compiler. Might feel basic to you, but writing a back end for a low level IR format is not that much harder.
Why aren’t the booleans like “facts” or “no cap” for true and cap for “false”?
Also, you could have exceptions be called “Sus”
Because it was easier to use Java primitives than implement the constants myself.
Looks like you’ve got a bug in there.
if false no cap canYouSeeMe = false if cap canYouSeeMe = true sheeshWon’t this always go into the else/cap condition since the if condition is checking to see that false == true?
You’re correct, but it doesn’t really matter for demo purposes. In an actual use case (whatever that would be for this language) you would of course want to use some kind of variable or expression there instead of a constant.
Does it compile into JVM bytecode or Java source code?
JVM bytecode is one of the most infuriating IRs I ever had the displeasure to work with, and if you managed to make a compiler for that, I applaud you.
Fortunately I generate Java source code from it. However MPS generates both source and byte code when you build the solution. For some reason I can’t get the byte code to run though, but the source code does, so I don’t care too much.
That sounds about right for JVM bytecode… In any case, great work!
No cap is cracking me up. This is great stuff
Jetbrains MPS?
It’s a tool for designing domain specific languages. Really interesting!
That’s cool but also makes me cringe.
Is this LOLCODE 2.0?
Impressive, no cap!
