Yes! I have been listening to a load of podcasts a few of which make me extremely worried someone is onto my idea so I'm coding like mad. However, looking at it objectively, I think to pull off the execution of this project it will probably take 1-2 months of fulltime work. Anyone know where I can get, say, a hundred grand to help me start a business... If only. :-)

#44Yep! Trying to write my very first programming language[1]. Aiming to have a legit GC (mark/sweep), a legit VM with bytecode (possibly stack-based to start out with), and familiar data types. Oh and I'm doing it entirely in C, because I have a special love/hate relationship with C that never seems to die. It's going slow, but very fun! [1]: https://github.com/sdegutis/Paladin
Any resources that you're using to help you implement this? Looks cool!
I don't have many resources. Only these two:
- GC tutorial: http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2013/12/08/babys-first-gar...
- intro to hash tables: http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/aspnes/pinewiki/C(2f)HashTables...

- The Implementation of Lua 5.0: http://www.lua.org/doc/jucs05.pdf
It's not meant as a tutorial, but it's nice as a checklist and a reference.

What's your idea? Even a vague pointer to the field that it is in?

#49My family is consuming my time and/or my hardware currently.
I have gotten to the point of buying a new laptop today. Just so I get my macbook back.
On the plus side my family seem happier. We're all well fed and I've socialised more this month than I have all year.
