The Pikachu Programming Language

What it does

The Pikachu Programming Language is a programming language built only for Pikachus, aiming to provide this underserved Pokemon with suitable alternative career options.

The Pikachu programming language is a language designed for Pikachus. It is based on the language of the Pikachus, and contains only the following three syntax elements : pi, pika, pikachu

I am proud to present to you the Pikachu programming language. It is a language designed specifically to be usable by Pikachus. In today’s job market, most Pikachus are forced to live a life of obedience and servitude to cruel Pokemon trainers. They are regularly forced to fight other Pokemon for sport, often in front of large audiences. Clearly this is unethical and a gross violation of Pikachu rights. I firmly believe that to successfully end this inpikachu practice, we first need to provide Pikachus around the world with suitable alternative career options. And the Pikachu programming language intends to do just that. Today, there are innumerable human programmers around the world. IT…from trove42.com

  ScrapScript – A tiny functional language for sharable software2023 · scrapscript.org · ▲503

  Hi friends, I started casually working on scrapscript in 2015. I built a few compilers over the years to test out various ideas/implementations, and I think I'm finally happy with the overall design. The code is not public yet. Email me at [email protected] if you're interested in joining the core team later this year. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback :)

  NESFab – Programming language for making NES games2023 · pubby.games · ▲298

  This is a long-running personal project I've had to write an optimizing compiler from scratch. Everything was done by me, including the lexer/parser, SSA-based IR, high-performance data structures, and code generator. Originally I wasn't targeting the NES. It started as a scripting language, then it morphed into a C++ replacement, and then finally I turned it into what it is today. The large scope of the project and colorful history means it's still a little rough around the edges, but it's now working well enough to post.

  Cassette, a Personal Programming Language2023 · cassette-lang.com · ▲231

  I made this simple language over the past year, and it's time for me to say it's "done" (for now) and focus on other projects. I've struggled to answer the question "what is this language for?" other than "it's just for me" — and that's probably good enough. But I also wanted to make something "complete" that others could use if they wanted to. Writing my own language was an incredibly rewarding experience, and I'd recommend everyone trying it. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback, and please share your own experience if you've also made a language.

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
