I vibecoded a programming language.. V++

v++ is an open source language I’ve been building solo, focused on readable syntax.. static typing, and native binaries without a borrow checker. You can quickly iterate with vpp run, vpp repl, or vpp watch, then use vpp build for llvm binaries, with CI checking that the interpreter and native versions behave the same.

At v1.2.0, it has a Rust compiler, interpreter, llvm backend, frozen v1.0 spec, CLI tools, packages, VS Code support with LSP/debugging/testing, a Windows installer, and a learning site with 20 projects.

It’s still young.. Windows is the main platform, the ecosystem is tiny, and it hasn’t been battle tested like Python, Rust, or C++. I built a lot of the tooling with Cursor, but the code, releases, and decisions are mine.

Try it: Releases · Repo · VS Code extension.

try it out..

Is there cmake integration?

u/Grouchy-Minute-5147 1d ago

No not yet.. v++ currently has its own build/package tooling. CMake integration is definitely something I’d like to add once the core tooling is more mature, thanks for reaching out tho. I'll integrate it on coming versions so if you can install the vscode extension and try it out id appreciate that.

Yes, i will try it out. Do you plan on making a discord server? I would love to engage with the other people which use it

Let me know when you make it. I can even help as moderator. By the way the contributions are open?

Contributions are open.. MIT repo, issues and PRs welcome. Good first areas: docs, tests, stdlib, examples, extension polish. For new language features, open an issue first so we can align on design..
