The Thrax Programming Language

• thrance 2y ago
  Whenever someone links to a new programming language, I would like the page to have a few snippets of code in that language, just so I can get a quick overview.

    I'm more interested in why someone created a new programming language. That tells me way more than snippets ever will.

      > I'm more interested in why someone created a new programming language. The why in this case is "a little toy language ... to learn .. how dynamically-typed interpreted languages worked"

The linked page on github https://thrax.elijahpotter.dev/ https://thrax.elijahpotter.dev/ has some snippets that you can click on. The first one called tour.th has a very brief overview of the language.

      That page doesn't work on mobile, the code is covered up by the menu.
