Loreline, narrative language transpiled via Haxe: C++/C#/JS/Java/Py/Lua

In plain words

Loreline is a narrative language that transpiles into multiple programming languages including C++, C#, JavaScript, Java, Python, and Lua. Built on Haxe, it allows developers to write stories or interactive narratives once and compile them to run across different platforms. The tool is designed for creators who want to build narrative-driven experiences without rewriting code for each target language.

How does Loreline work under the hood? This article provides some answers, though not everything can be covered in detail here! Building a narrative scripting language requires two very different skill sets working together. On one side, there is narrative language design: the syntax must feel natural to writers, get out of the way of creativity, and provide the right mechanics for expressing narrative intent (branching, variations, characters, state) in a readable and intuitive way. On the other side, every simplification, every design choice in the language requires real software engineering effort: the fewer symbols the writer has to type, the more the parser needs to understand the…from loreline.app

  W++ – A Python-style scripting language for .NET with NuGet support2025 · github.com · ▲98

  Hey HN I’ve been building *W++*, a scripting language that looks like Python but runs on the .NET runtime. It started as a fun side project, but it evolved into something surprisingly powerful — and potentially useful: Key Features: - Python-style syntax with semicolon-based simplicity - Compiles to .NET IL with experimental JIT support - Can run interpreted or compiled - Built-in CLI for managing projects, running, and building - Supports importing NuGet packages and converts them to .ingot modules automatically - MIT licensed and fully open-source You can even do things like: wpp import…

  I made an esoteric programming language that's read like a spellbook2025 · github.com · ▲176

  i made an esoteric programming language which i call spellscript. every program is a "spell" written in a "grimoire," and you have to use keywords like summon, enchant, inscribe, and conjure. it's literally read like a spellbook because the syntax consists of all natural language, and newlines are optional. your code can now be an essay, like everybody wants! for example, if you want to print something, you'd write: `begin the grimoire. inscribe whispers of "hello, world!". close the grimoire.` it has variables, dynamic typing, arrays, functions, conditionals, loops, string manipulation,…

  Clx – Compile Lua to Native Executables Through C++20Jul 2026 · github.com · ▲143

  Hi HN, clx is an ahead-of-time compiler for standard Lua that generates C++20 and produces standalone native executables through GCC, Clang or MSVC. The project started as an experiment to see whether modern C++ could be used as a portable compiler backend instead of LLVM or direct machine code generation. The generated code is then compiled and optimized by the host toolchain. The latest release replaces the previous NaN-tagged value representation with a new shadow-types implementation, adds full int64 support, improves native arithmetic code generation and adds ARM64 macOS coroutine…
