electrux / ethereal Goto Github PK

Even though it's not very important, that's a good starting point to have few benchmarks just to know how good is the language! :D

In you article https://medium.com/young-coder/so-i-created-a-programming-language-4d9c11038d22 you mentioned that you use reference counting, but how do you deal with circular references? Is there any trick to prevent it?

Ethereal needs more test scripts for validating if the interpreter runs correctly.
You can write programs ranging from algorithms and data structures, to simple scripts performing some tasks and put those scripts in the tests/ directory.
Do comment here which program will you be writing so no one else works on it and verify that the program you are writing isn't already written in the tests/ directory.

Ideally, you would run the script with valgrind to verify if there are any memory leaks or not, but this is only possible for Linux users since macOS gives false positives with valgrind.

Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for code guidelines, and if you are working on algorithms/data structures, please see bubble sort implementation and binary search tree implementation.

Other issues, suggestions and contributions are always welcome. 😃
Happy coding! ❤️

Add the std.complex library.

Is this still wanted? Could try and get something working.

The start of the file has:

#!./buildfiles/et

#!./buildfiles/et

When it should only have one.

If the ethereal virtual machine would be compiled to webassembly using something like emscripten, it would allow the language to run in browser.

Surely it should convert the int to a string and concat / merge them? But I'm not sure.

It would be really good to have a CMake script or Makefile for building the language. It needs to be identical to the bootstrap.sh script located in the main repository.

Any help is much appreciated! ❤️

Add Windows equivalents for the *nix only parts in the code base.

Currently standard / default, would be quite easy to update. I can do it if wanted.
