zen text, is a brand new language, that is being specifically built for easier use of the console, currently it supports, more things than we can list!

updates

  • cleared up some stuff at top
  • updates section cleared
  • language respective commands ( ex: @:n for nodejs ) are in the works! but not on original project due to major issues, until the original xent project gets unsuspended, there will be a list of hastebins for the updates!

coming soon

  • language respective commands
  • json addon
  • process addon
  • ability to make addons

I see you used python to create the lexer, good work!

3

i would have used nodejs, or c++, which most likely will be coming up soon, so it stays with the standard of new languages.

4

could you teach me how to make a coding language based on python?

or at least how to use this. thanks :slight_smile:

5

have you tried ANTLR for a lexer?, its located here https://www.antlr.org/download.html

6

i have, i failed miserably …

7

i tried, couldn’t install and CLI didnt work

8

Does it support input?

Hello,
Can you tell me what’s the advantages of using your language? Why I would prefer it if I had a choice between, for instance, Java and C? Is it actually a worldwide project or you’ve been creating it just for educational purposes?

Seems like a good start, it can help people like me get a headstart on creating a language

Do you mind if I put a creative commons license on the work?

Why you guys need an ‘yet_another_programming_language’?

I need yet another language so we at protech IT solutions can experiment and help others code in languages they recognise than teaching them a language that takes ages to set up or install, when we can just run it in one command

thank you!

the purpose of xent ( nicked it already :wink: ) is to provide an easier time debugging, logging, and running commands, it will soon allow break points, as soon as logistics is complete, so debugging becomes a more apparent usage

note, it uses python 3, it will soon have a batch script and shell script to take the place of the current way to use it, if you have not figured it out yet

note: the syntax to run a xent file, is

python3 xent.py [xent file]

it is actually, just a typical normal programming language,
also, no compilation, and, you have to admit, compiling code like in c++, java, c, and other languages takes away at time, and time is important.

the language is designed to have speed, and not mess up during it, soon, after the breakpoints are complete, i am planning to work on language respective commands, i will explain those in detail the further xent gets!

now that i think about it, i should make a list of the additions i am planning…

Compiling provides language the ability to speed it up using the machine code. And also, as you said you’re using Python, it also compiles but to the files called *.pycache
