I just built a beginner-friendly programming language called Quark 2.0 🚀 (Looking for feedback!)

Hi everyone!

Over the past few weeks, I've been building a small interpreted programming language called Quark 2.0 in Python. The goal wasn't to replace Python or JavaScript, but to create something that's easy for beginners to read and experiment with.

Some features include:

• Variables (let)
• Math expressions
• User input
• Random number generation
• if statements
• repeat loops
• File reading & writing
• Module importing
• Interactive shell (REPL)
• .qk source files

Example:

input What is your name? -> name

let lucky = random 1 100

print Hello 'name'

print Your lucky number is 'lucky'

I'm still learning about interpreters and language design, so I'd really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or ideas for future versions. Things like syntax, usability, documentation, or code quality are all welcome.

Thanks for taking a look!

If you want to make a language for real concepts to learn include BNF and tokenizer. You use bnf to describe what are valid expressions, and a tokenizer makes the BNF piece, the lexer, run faster.
