For my diploma at FERI UM, I decided to try to create my own programming language.
I set out to build a general purpose programming language and decided to make it with Slovene syntax as a gimmick.
To force myself to learn modern C++ I decided to use C++17 standard and make my language compilable
and runnable
on Windows and Linux
.
I wanted to support class inheritance
and implement some predefined classes and functions
.
For the sake of time and complexity I had to decide to abandon some features such as method overriding and specific super constructor calls, etc. Missing features or limitations might get implemented later if I decide to continue working on this project after my diploma.
- Basic for loop
- Basic while loop
- If-else statements
- Exit statements (break, continue)
- Class Inheritance
- Predefined classes (generic list, string, double, boolean, int, void, object)
- A very basic IDE that will support syntax highlighting, project treeview, run button.
- A print function
- Might add more later...
- Unable to call specific super constructors
- Unable to override super methods (only hide them)
- ...
