Hi! In this repository, I tinker with different programming language ideas. I explore languages with different language complexity vs. efficiency vs. ergonomics tradeoffs.

The most interesting bits:

• Ground: A low-level stack-based byte code.
  ground/readme.md contains the specification.
  I wrote a Ground interpreter in Zig, but that's private for now.
• Grass (Ground Assembly): An assembly language for crafting binary files.
  grass/readme.md contains more info.
  grass/grass.grass contains a self-hosted Grass compiler that is not yet finished.
• Pear (Parenthesized Expressions And Really that's it): A language that is essentially just the untyped lambda calculus with Lisp syntax. Doesn't really work yet, only in my imagination.
  pear/readme.md contains more info.
  martinaise/pear.mar contains a Pear interpreter written in Martinaise, another programming language I created.
  pear/core.pear contains the Pear standard library.
  pear/pear.pear contains a self-hosted Pear interpreter that is not yet finished.
• Mango (TODO): A low-level programming language with C-like syntax. Doesn't really work yet.
  mango/readme.md contains more info.
  mango/core contains the Mango standard library.
  mango/mango.mango contains a self-hosted Mango compiler that is not yet finished.
• Plum (Programming Language Used by Marcel): A high-level functional programming language with immutable data structures, pure functions, and garbage collection.
  plum/readme.md contains more info.
  martinaise/plum contains a Plum compiler written in Martinaise, another programming language I created.
  plum/core contains the Plum standard library.
