Show HN: The Snap Programming Language
- gallna 8y agoSnap is a tiny optionally typed object oriented language with first class functions and coroutines. The interpreter targets the JVM including Android variants such as ART and Dalvik.
- TheAsprngHacker 8y agoYou might want to rename your programming language - when I saw this on the Show HN listing, I thought it was the educational programming language Snap!: https://snap.berkeley.edu https://snap.berkeley.edu / https://github.com/jmoenig/Snap https://github.com/jmoenig/Snap.
- gallna 8y agoThanks, I noticed this a while back and I have been intending to rename it .. writing a language/interpreter is the easy part, coming up with a name is the tricky bit ... suggestions welcome.
- shiveringking 8y agoI love your debugger/IDE and the detail that your readme goes into!
- dgarud 8y agoIts pretty cool to have your own language + source code of games like mario! Is there a page where you compare language features - i.e what motivated you to create your own? Also, what is your team size and how long you all are behind this?
- gallna 8y agoThanks, its just me working on it as a hobby, there is no team. The reason I did this was part of a bigger project, writing Android games some of which I released. It gives a much nicer development experience.. i.e no emulators and no need for building and dexing. You simply update the source and press go :)
