There are roughly 7000 spoken languages: there might even be more for programming. You may have heard of BASIC, C#, or Java: but what about Dylan, Brainfuck, or Zimbu? Some languages exist to serve a purpose; some as experiments; some to reinvent the wheel.

Basic Rules

  • Keep it programming-focused. No random off-topic discussion, politics, porn, etc.
  • Ideally, here we want to catalog & discuss languages that don't typically end up on resumes or /r/programming.
  • If you have your own programming language, and want to plug its site, subreddit, etc; that's fine here. Just don't overdo it. ;)

Toffee

Toffee is an object-oriented class-based programming language that I made for macOS (no Windows support). Read the documentation first. Use it at txnyurl.com/toffee-sdk at the end of that (replace the lowercase X with a lowercase I).

Here is a Hello World program in it:

public class HelloWorld {
  print("Hello, World!");
}

MiniLang

Hello guys! It's been a while since I last updated the MiniLang programming language. The language aims to be powerful, yet concise, simple and minimal. Check it out if you find this interesting.

Additions:

* Structures

* Function overloading

* Uniform function call syntax (UFCS)

* C-based compiler backend (by default)

* Some builtins

Mini Lang

A type-safe C successor that compiles directly to c.

Features

* Minimal

* Compiled

* Strongly typed

* Function overloading

* Hygienic macro system

* C function interoperability

* Uniform function call syntax (UFCS)

Minimal - As close as possible to actual assembly code while maintaining as many high-level features as possible.
