Hello!

This is the current Lemmy equivalent of https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/.

The content and rules are the same here as they are over there. Taken directly from the /r/ProgrammingLanguages overview:

This community is dedicated to the theory, design and implementation of programming languages.

Be nice to each other. Flame wars and rants are not welcomed. Please also put some effort into your post.

This isn't the right place to ask questions such as "What language should I use for X", "what language should I learn", and "what's your favorite language". Such questions should be posted in /c/learn_programming or /c/programming.

This is the right place for posts like the following:

"Check out this new language I've been working on!"
"Here's a blog post on how I implemented static type checking into this compiler"
"I want to write a compiler, where do I start?"
"How does the Java compiler work? How does it handle forward declarations/imports/targeting multiple platforms/?"
"How should I test my compiler? How are other compilers and interpreters like gcc, Java, and python tested?"
"What are the pros/cons of ?"
"Compare and contrast vs. "
"Confused about the semantics of this language"
"Proceedings from PLDI / OOPSLA / ICFP / "

See /r/ProgrammingLanguages for specific examples

From README:

Lady Deirdre is a framework for incremental programming language compilers, interpreters, and source code analyzers.

This framework helps you develop a hybrid program that acts as a language compiler or interpreter and as a language server for a code editor's language extension. It offers the necessary components to create an in-memory representation of language files, including the source code, their lexis and syntax, and the semantic model of the entire codebase. These components are specifically designed to keep the in-memory representation in sync with file changes as the codebase continuously evolves in real time.

Key Features

Parser Generator Using Macros.

Hand-Written Parsers.

Error Resilience.

Semantics Analysis Framework.

Incremental Compilation.

Parallel Computations.

Web-Assembly Compatibility.

Source Code Formatters.

Annotated Snippets.

Self-Sufficient API.

Well, the bad news is that its license bites. The good news is that PLT Redex exists and has a much better license along with better formal tooling and presentation.
