I thought it was a pun with moiré then saw the surf board. I was fooled again as it was about moiré!

For a while I wanted to explore new optimization opportunities for ArkScript, and so I wrote a very simple IR for my language ArkScript (lisp like that’s made easy to embed in C++ apps). I’m now going to improve this IR (to have function ca

Hi everyone! For those who don't know us, ArkScript is a programming language made in C++ to be easily used in projects, inspired by Lisp. The language aims to be small to avoid a collection of 100 keywords with very rare/specific

A small programming language made for C++ developpers, inspired by Lisp, aiming for relatively good speed. It was created because I wanted to try my hands at a Lisp like, and it turned out so good I kept working on it for nearly two years n

After a lot of delay, it's here and we plan to use this module to develop small REST API, websites and maybe even our future package manager! It can handle servers with get, post, put, delete routes, with functions to treat the receive

Woops sorry I used the Ackermann Péter fucntion, still the same parameters (3, 6), on spidermoney (js engine for Firefox 74.0, windows 10, i7 8k) Thanks for the link, I'll definitely dig down into that!

This is a very heavy test of non optimizable recursion, and (benchmark not published yet) ArkScript is only 2 times slower than JavaScript. It sounds a lot, but please note that I'm actively working on improving those numbers, and I&#x

I've never heard of fennel before, looks interesting! Yes it's possible to launch a REPL by using the `-r` or `--repl` option when launching ArkScript executable. A few people contributing on the language are people I know from so

It could have been compiled to Lua bytecode, but I felt like having an external VM and ArkScript would have been too much. I always hate when I download a lib and 100 smaller libs come because the main lib relies on it

That's the idea yes. Since an example is worth a thousand words, here is a function for the http module, counting argument, checking the types and then using the values to create an http client (to make http requests to web servers):

I'm sorry, I used the wrong word (see the details in the above comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22698450 ) for this.. It's not a FFI but an interface using the VM API.

by jackrabbit_ 7y ago
You're right, I'm using the wrong name for this. At the beginning the goal was to have what you described as a FFI and what I thought a primitive "FFI" would look like (eg. what it is today, a system using the VM API), b

That's where it's tricky, the compiler doesn't know, it's checked at runtime by the C++ function, which receives a list of Values, count them (actually quite convenient if we need to make variadic argument functions) and

Good question actually! I knew and I know that making a scripting fast enough to make video games is really tough, so I wasn't expecting to be able to make a language able to make games on its own (understand: not as a scripting langua

Thanks! Some people are going to be a bit angry about what I'm going to say, but the language is 100% dynamically typed, so we retrieve `Ark::Value` from the language, and in C++ we check the data type by using `value.valueType()`, we

A while ago, I was using Lua as a scripting language for my games but wanted something between Lisp and Python, a language which would run on a VM to be able to export only the bytecode, and to be able to code in a lisp like syntax. And Ark
