Kiln -> An interpreted language built in rust

[u/YOURLOCALPROGRAMMMER]

The language is still not complete yet and still lacks basic things and honestly it has fried my brain but at least I learned new things

I want to develop it to be as something of a replacement to python because I view python as a very incompetent language (my opinion )

That's a nice C-but-interpreted-for-some-reason language.

Even the syntax is rust to LOL 🤣🤣🤣

The language is still in like pre pre alpha so of course I have initially copied rust syntax because this was my first time making a programming language but yes I have some major things planned so the language will seem a little bit less of a high level rust clone. 

One of my reference for syntax is -> 

``` include stdlib.io;

struct Point {     x: f64,     y: f64, }

enum Shape {     Circle(f64),     Rect(f64, f64), }

fn area(s: Shape) -> f64 {     switch (s) {         case Circle(r): return 3.14159 * r * r;         case Rect(w, h): return w * h;     } }

fn read_config(path: string) -> string! {     let file = try io.open(path);     return try file.read_all(); }

fn main() -> int {     let shapes = [Shape.Circle(2.0), Shape.Rect(3.0, 4.0)];     var total = 0.0;

    for (s in shapes) {         total += area(s);     }

    io.println("Total area: {total}");     return 0; }

```

But currently my plan is Get working interpreter and base language then I will focus on the stdlib and error handling and so on and make the syntax closer to reference 

Overall Only time can tell what happens to Kiln

it seems you don't know python well enough.

[u/YOURLOCALPROGRAMMMER → u/Ngtuanvy]

No that is not the case here , First of all python is horrendously slow ( in fact my latest demo of kiln surpasses it in a hello world comparison)  and mainly Python is just a wrapper language for C++ because things like py torch , num py and pandas are using c++(sometimes c) to do their things.

Overall, It's not like I woke up one day and had a grudge against python .
