Show HN: Yaksha Programming Language

• Yaksha

  14 187 9.3 C

  😈 Yaksha Programming Language - Offside rule + Lisp system for macros. 🐣 WIP

  

I have been working on this for a while. Main goal was to build a usable programming language. I even end up building few tools for this such as IntelliJ plugin, etc.

I also plan on building some games with it in future.

Please have a look. Thank you.

• glicol

  133 2,028 7.9 Rust

  Graph-oriented live coding language and music/audio DSP library written in Rust

That's really lots of work from a one-man band. I can empathise as I am also developing https://github.com/chaosprint/glicol

Since you mentioned wasm, I think it would be great to have a REPL on the website in the future.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

I'm very surprised that this is actually a single person's workload. "Because I am also a programming language designer and developer, I have worked in it for approximately 3 years, and it also supports compiling to WASM." https://github.com/KusionStack/KCLVM

I'm late to the party, but I want to say thank you for sharing this. It's inspiring to look at how much you've built and (hopefully) enjoyed the process of building! I'm loving everything -- your site, your language design, your docs, your builtin libraries, your dev tools. Beyond impressive. People like you are the ones who make HN one of my best places on the internet.

For context on where I'm coming from, about two weeks ago I picked up Crafting Interpreters [1] for fun. I'm finding your clear-yet-concise Compiler internals [2] to be particularly compelling reading, and jumping back and forth between those "how this all works" docs and the live example of this language you actually built do a WASM-compiled tree-blowing-in-the-wind animation is just... just wow. So freaking cool!

I also enjoyed reading the comment thread that inspired you to start on Yaksha and seeing how this project has a wholesome start as inspiration-by-programming-hero. I hope you recognize that a few years later you've now ascended from inspiree to inspirer. I also hope you're still having tons of fun building out Yaksha!
