Show HN: A small programming language where everything is pass-by-value

91 points

4 months ago

This is a hobby project of mine that I started a few years ago to learn about programming language implementation. It was created 95% without AI, although a few recent commits include code from Gemini CLI.

I started out following Crafting Interpreters, but gradually branched off that until I had almost nothing left in common.

Tech stack: Rust, Cranelift (JIT compilation), LALRPOP (parser).
