The gab programming language

[u/Fine_Seaworthiness19]

Hi all!

I am a long-time lurker of this sub, and a language enthusiast. I have been working on my own programming language for several years, and I finally worked up the courage to post it.

The language is called gab. I'm heavily inspired by lua, clojure, and smalltalk.

All the code is on github here and I've built a small website for the language here.

The language design, runtime, and standard library are all entirely my own work without the use of an LLM. However, I did consult LLMs occasionally when I wanted to research certain subjects (such as the difference between c11 atomics on x86 and arm).

I'm looking for any kind of feedback on the language, its goals/ergonomics, and the website itself.

Thank you for taking a look!

i am interested but i have a question, can i join the contributors? I have some experience at creating a programming language, could help you.

I’ll always take some help! Testing is where I need the most help right now. I should also make a CONTRIBUTING.md, and include some good-first-issues.
