Designed with clean, clear syntax and keywords; along with a fully dynamic typing system; fast and dynamic data structures which makes it a great platform as a scripting engine which can be embedded into existing programs for a more high level logic computation or even as a fast and reliable application development platform, with a definite … text/html 2010-02-15T18:06:24+00:00 Philip Herron http://crules.org/doku.php?id=start&rev=1266257184&do=diff Crules is a dynamic programming language that takes influences from Python , Perl and Haskell. The main motivation for this language was the concept or design of a new paradigm or feature which I call `rules'; where a rule is or can be an entry point which has dependencies rather than parameters. Though any rule can be overridden to have different or no dependencies. So the language itself can decide on the best course of actions for an operation, this then has the side effect of dependencies be… text/html 2010-01-12T16:31:37+00:00 Philip Herron http://crules.org/doku.php?id=hacking&rev=1263313897&do=diff Before anyone asks me “why a new interpreter from scratch why not Parrot”, well if I am honest i didn't hear about parrot until about a year ago! And I am getting involved with those guys, and really I think for languages and interpreter/compiler/VM 's to develop and extend we need more implementations of different types since there don't seem to be many new implementations of languages from scratch these days. Allison Randal said in a talk, current languages currently all share ideas from langu… text/html 2009-12-23T17:39:37+00:00 Philip Herron http://crules.org/doku.php?id=language&rev=1261589977&do=diff So Language Design, what is the distinction of it and the implementation? Well the dilemma here is you really need to make sure you understand fully how the language constructs will be evaluated in order to return useful results to the programmer. And how do we do language design? Its not like we have anything to test your constructs against, it takes quite a bit of patients which can make it difficult, but its also the coolest part because you can come up with cool ideas.
