Show HN: A New Language Compiler: Quark

2 points

6 months ago

Hello, recently I have been creating my own new C-like programming language packed with more modern features. I've decided to stray away from books and tutorials and try to learn how to build a compiler on my own. I wrote the language in C and it transpiles into C code so it can be compiled and ran on any machine.

My most pressing challenge was getting a generics system working, and I seem to have got that down with the occasional bug here and there. I wanted to share this language to see if it would get more traction before my deadline to submit my maker portfolio to college passes. I would love if people could take a couple minutes to test some things out or suggest new features I can implement to really get this project going.

You can view the code at the repository (main link) or go to the website (http://quar.k.vu) for some documentation.
