Hello all. I'm currently working on my final year project which is creating a new programming language. I've done my research and still researching. Please, if there is anyone with any experience concerning creating a new programming language or writing a compiler, don't hesitate to share. I or someone out there can still learn a thing or two from your experience. Also, if you know of any material which would greatly help my cause, please drop the name. Thanks.

So you want to write a new language withing a semester?

in the regular nigerian computer science departments, the average lecturer expects you to build him his complete phD project.

Yes. It's possible. Our class was grouped into 2 and the other group created a scripting programming language and my group created a general programming language.

Though the languages created are not sophisticated like the already existing ones, they can still do some things like solving simple arithmetic problems. All these were created within the first semester.

I tire for Nigeria schools

when you are done with the language please let us know so we can learn it,

Drop your whatsapp number; I think I might know someone who could help you.

3 Questions.

- What do you know about compiler construction?
- How well are you good in C?
- Have you ever heard of Lex and YACC

From a research, you can make a programming language in C#

Read from here
http://www.codemag.com/Article/1607081

But i suggest C, then understand how to create your own compiler.

But you cannot code a programming language in a semester,It took my friend a year plus to create a programming language he uses in his office for web application today.

Thanks so much. I'm on it already. This will help me greatly.

I believe that your writing a new language is basically for learning purposes, else I would have adviced against trying to hurry on such a project. However, its possible to write a new language in a short time, but what is your new language intending to solve?

If you go for C, that might be a very steep curve. You can try with JS, Python or PHP. Deploy a new language for the web.
There are some basic things a language should have.
First is a compiler/intepreter: Your browser can serve as an intepreter, no need to go writing a compiler, why not go ahead with writing down the chunk of functional code. For PHP, you could basically just run Ubuntu and use it.(With this you don't even have to worry about things like memory management)

Second is the semantics: Practically, just think like whoever would be using your language, then code away. (Don't just code away, plan it first). What variable initializing concept would be used? etc

There is really no third or fourth... Once you just get the first and second, everything would start falling into place.

For an average Nigerian computer science student I will say you and your lecturers are joking

Go and download a script and defend like you people always do
