    This is very much the case! I started tinkering with compilers around 4 years ago when I was 16. If it was possible for me to do then, I'm sure it's possible for anyone else to lea…

    Wow, that's a really interesting fact. I hope you don't mind but I updated the article to reference this and credited you accordingly :^)

    I have the best of both worlds here where all of my amex credit bills come out from my Monzo account and my salary is paid into my Monzo. The other features of the bank are what ap…

    To be honest, the project is kind of mimicking Slick2D which is a simple Java framework that introduced me into graphics programming in the first place. My kind of dream project he…

    Maybe you would like the BetterC mode in the D programming language... if you mean you like C for it's syntax too. A lot of modern systems prog. languages seem to adopt a more mode…

    It's mostly a disclaimer for the time being. I'm making no guarantees that the editor will meet those claims at it's current state - but that's the end goal.

    I would say compiles is a more general form of transpiles. Transpiling meaning it compiles into a higher level form i.e. c, C++, JavaScript, and compile meaning it compiles into a …

    The link to optimizing an ANSI C interpreter is broken, it's missing a colon after the protocol. I dunno if there's anyone here that can fix that, just thought I'd say it anyway. A…

    As a maintainer of an open source project, we often get a lot of proposals from people - my project is a compiler. And while some of them are interesting, there are a few who are s…

    Very similar to Ark: www.github.com/ark-lang/ark. Except Ark has no GC, has tagged enums, ownership is enforced, and a few other smaller differences.

    Comment #10000263

    A nice introduction, I'm currently working on a compiler which uses LLVM for code generation... it was very difficult to get into at first. Especially since I was using C (now Go),…

    I can't be the only one who thought this was about GC in terms of languages, and got confused when it mentioned noise and smell...

    Controls are a little funky, would be nice to have some kind of particle explosion when your ship is destroyed. Probably a little more satisfying than just flipping straight to the…

    Pretty good read, even if it's a draft. Only thing that bugs me a little is the informalities, and reading "That's it." after something was explained.

    You can do OOP with C, I've used this for a lot of my projects and it usually works out really well, the code is readable and it's quite easy to scale.

    I've never really found those a problem, I imagine this is more of a subjective thing.

    Unlike Rust, this is something we aren't focusing on. I just really like Rust, so we borrowed a lot of the syntax.

    Hi, for is basically a while loop yes. We haven't implemented ranges yet, so this is the example we chose since it works, and it's fairly concise to fit on the website. I chose `:=…

    It started off as a side project by myself, I'm a student so I work on it every now and then, but I'm 17 so I have bigger things to prioritise like my education. The large commit c…
