I had to design a simple general purpose language for university, so I tried creating "ZoomerScript" with Jetbrains MPS
(infosec.pub)
Insert <it's not much but it's honest work> meme. It only supports ints and bools, some logic and simple arithmetics and it compiles to Java but damn was it hard to get that far.
Can you guess what everything does?
I have a bachelor’s in computer science and I don’t think I would be able to do that…
It’s likely transpiring and not compiling, so it’s a lot easier than it seems. Source: made a language that adds features to Python and transpiles to valid Python.
It doesn't compile or transpile in actuality. It generates Java based on an abstract syntax tree. The concrete syntax is not considered in Java generation by MPS.
