Could you build this?
No Creating a complete programming language runtime, bytecode interpreter/compiler, and memory manager from scratch requires deep compiler design and systems programming experience.
What it would actually take: The implementation requires C or C++ to write an optimized lexer, parser, abstract syntax tree (AST) evaluator or bytecode virtual machine, a deterministic garbage collector or memory allocator, and secure bindings for external C libraries (libffi, PCRE2, MariaDB, cURL). Ensuring language security, sandbox isolation, and binary size optimization to ~300KB demands seasoned language runtime and systems programming skills.
Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Citrine (related/forked project), Smalltalk (syntax inspiration)
Concerns raised: Confusing syntax for loops and control flow (not using FOR keyword), Inconsistent True/False semantics allows undefined behavior, Political messaging on project page may alienate contributors, Pass-by-reference semantics requires understanding different from most languages
Feature requests: Alias 'lf' (lowercase) for line feed instead of 'stop', Consistent True/False keyword usage in examples
