i think a programming language called "Chess" would be awesome, it could be to C what CoffeeScript is to Javascript.

- mooism2 15y agoIt's already been done twice (C++ and Objective C). The law of diminishing returns must kick in at some point.
- mhd 15y agoHarder to do with C. Either you'll just add a small syntactical layer on top of C, mostly for cosmetic purposes (similar to python indentation tools for C or #define END } ), or you'll basically have a language that compiles to C (like p2c, f2c, Vala, SmartEiffel etc.). Haven't seen a decent "transformation" of C that actually gets you more than it is worth, especially when it comes to interfacing to existing C libraries. Edit: If you ever decide to make a Chess language, please make an IDE called Bangkok.
