Programming Languages

Here are a few of the programming languages I've created.

  • Crayon - dynamically typed, curly brace language, byte-code interpreted language meant for cross platform user-facing apps.
  • Pastel - statically typed language that transpiles to somewhat readable code in Python, JavaScript, C#, Java, and PHP. Code is basically a 1-to-1 transpilation intended to preserve performance rather than create platform safety.
  • Vanilla - work in progress replacement for Pastel intended to primarily target transpilation to JavaScript and C. The C transpiled code contains basic garbage collection and list/dictionary types.
  • Mark Sideways - A literate programming language I created in a weekend hackathon that is basically an interpreter for markdown files.
  • EmojiLang - A simple programming language with an online IDE that I made as a joke. The syntax is purely made of emojis (except for strings).

Tetris in Every Programming Language

I'm attempting to write Tetris in every programming language I know as both a way to keep around boilerplate code for future reference, but also for the lols. You can view the whole git repository or browse by language below:
