This reminds me of some experiments that I have been having. I'm (slowly) learning what it means to implement languages through various sources, but one thing I've been testing and thinking about is designing a language from the top down. That is, basically creating a design for the language's syntax, semantics, environment, and libraries without concern how one would eventually implement it.
- quinnjh 5y agoSounds rad :D Ive been in a similar position. Learning from the higher end of things but beginning to pick up some clisp. Ive been toying with the idea of quantum mechanics in relation to scale free architecture... wanting to read this book on quantum chemistry and group theory and eventually think from the bottom up, but in a way that could perhaps keep the "entanglements" to the priorities set on higher levels of the semantic stack... I might be a bit far out here but my goal is to eventually gather enough knowledgeable folks in a shared repository to at least begin a collection of discussions about what is desired. I started a github repo w a collective approach and the forum is open for app if youre interested in collaboration. The more of these "takes" that i can account for in designing a new lang the better, and as other commenters point out the disagreements that would arise in collective development i think thats where forks and merges can come in handy. Insteads of docs as code maybe more like code as docs? With atomicity and scalability? Am i just naive? Ill find out later. https://github.com/holarchyclub/discussions/discussions https://github.com/holarchyclub/discussions/discussions
