Interesting. What inspired you to make rig?
- raystubbs 8y agoOh, sorry for the late response. Haven't been on in a while. I've been interested in languages for a while, been wanting to try writing one, but none of my designs satisfied me until Rig. It was mostly inspired by Lua, with some implementation based on Wren; but the syntax is basically a blend of traditional procedural and functional constructs. As I see it the only real advantage Rig has over Lua (besides a simpler syntax) is its record system; which allows Records with similar structure to share a lookup table, this makes their optimal usage patterns more similar to C structs than dictionaries.
