Solnix – an early-stage experimental programming language
I’m building Solnix, an experimental programming language as a learning + research project. It’s still early, and many design decisions (syntax, types, tooling) are intentionally not fixed yet. My goal right now is feedback, not promotion: What design mistakes should I watch out for? What usually makes new languages hard to adopt? What would you avoid if you were starting today? Repo & docs: https://solnix-lang.org/ I’d really appreciate honest criticism. Thanks for your time.
Solnix – an early-stage experimental programming language launched on February 8, 2026 with 6 votes, #1,572 of 16,627 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
What it does
A verifier-safe programming language for kernel-level security, observability, and policy enforcement using eBPF.

Hi! I am doing a learning project, attempting to build an imperative language (and interpreter). The end product will be useless for others, I just want to learn and better understand how to build imperative languages. :) If someone else shares this interest and want to give some good hints on good resources I would be grateful. Currently I am looking at an awesome text by Bob Nystrom. All suggestions and tips on resources are most welcome. I am very much a beginner in this, but I find this topic very fascinating. Mail me or post links here! Cheers! You can try a beta version Online at…
- IWI wrote a technical history book on LispFeb 2026 · berksoft.ca · ▲252
The book page links to a blog post that explains how I got about it (and has a link to sample content), but the TL&DR is that I could not find a lot of books that were on "our" history _and_ were larded with technical details. So I set about writing one, and some five years later I'm happy to share the result. I think it's one of the few "computer history" books that has tons of code, but correct me if I'm wrong (I wrote this both to tell a story and to learn :-)). My favorite languages are Smalltalk and Lisp, but as an Emacs user, I've been using the latter for much longer and for my…
I'm 17 and wrote a guide on how to build your own programming language2024 · easel.hackclub.com · ▲149Hey! I’m JC. I’m 17 and part of Hack Club, a nonprofit where we help teenagers ship programming projects with their friends while growing technically. A while ago, I asked myself the question, “How exactly do programming languages work behind the scenes?” It seemed really daunting until I went to a half hour workshop at a high school hackathon about writing a tree-walk interpreter and realized that getting started was actually super fun. This guide is designed in the vein of that - to get people, especially teenagers, started on learning how to build a programming language in a literal…
VisionScript, abstract programming language for computer vision2023 · github.com · ▲93Hello! I'm James and I am working on VisionScript. With VisionScript, I want to empower people -- including everyone without any prior programming experience -- to build cool apps with vision. This weekend, I recorded a demo for VisionScript, in which I made apps that count how many cats are in an image and hides people in a video. Each app was < 10 lines of code. https://vimeo.com/856043804 VisionScript is built for the 10 year old inside of me who would have loved more visual programming languages with which to play. I want to show people the potential of programming and how…
A small programming language where everything is pass-by-valueJan 2026 · github.com · ▲91This 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). Original title: "A small programming language where everything is a value" (edited based on comments)

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
