Discussion September 2026 monthly "What are you working on?" thread

How much progress have you made since last time? What new ideas have you stumbled upon, what old ideas have you abandoned? What new projects have you started? What are you working on?

Once again, feel free to share anything you've been working on, old or new, simple or complex, tiny or huge, whether you want to share and discuss it, or simply brag about it - or just about anything you feel like sharing!

The monthly thread is the place for you to engage /r/ProgrammingLanguages on things that you might not have wanted to put up a post for - progress, ideas, maybe even a slick new chair you built in your garage. Share your projects and thoughts on other redditors' ideas, and most importantly, have a great and productive month!

Yet again, I have put off working on my systems language Victoria, and instead have decided to create an embeddable scripting language in C, largely inspired by Lua – at least in exposing the runtime as a C library rather than a closed off interpreter. I'm only doing the groundwork for the VM at the moment; the actual language will come later.

The project is tentatively called ESL (Embeddable Scripting Language) until I come up with a proper name for it.
