So, to give it a go, I decided to program my own programming language. (To improve my skills, and to partially feel like a worthy Ph.D holder, as I am currently in the 9th year drawing close to the final).
I can 'share' the horrid compiler and the nightmarish (good self-esteem, don't I have?) syntax with you, folks. If you will. But I created this thread so I can give the technical specifications.
Etymology : The 'defective' counterpart of C++. It's a well-known joke that due to post-increment than a pre-increment, C++ is 'no better than C.' But the fact that C-- is also no worse than C is the joke in the name.
Technical details : It is a compiled, weakly-typed language. OOP (because I felt writing a procedural language in an OO language was very painful.) And of course, similar to Brain(censored), it's got a (unintentionally) weird syntax. The compiler currently is written in C (C-- is a very small language).
I found C++ very hard to write languages in. But very possible.
Purpose : Useless.
Features : Extremely premature. Only has three operators (two urnary and one binary.) Most of the influence comes from C/C++. Printing and reading are the only valid functions.
Example syntax :
What do you think about it? Should I upload the compiler?

Example syntax :
Code:
*/ No C/C++ compiler supports it. I created mine, but I doubt it is worth to be downloaded. Sorry for egoistic altitude. /*
@include <onlylibrary> // the library is named as
// 'onlylibrary' because it is the only library.
// syntax obviously ripped off from C++.
void f(0) */ Note that we NEED to use 0 as a return-value. It's not a bug, it's a feature. Even though it's a void, it seems the bug is too nasty to ignore voids./*
{
long x = 5;
JustPrinttheDamnThing("X"); // Good function name
ENDVOID; // if it were an int, it'd be 'endint.'
}
void main(o) {
int x = 5;
if x == 5;
JustPrinttheDamnThing("X is five!");What do you think about it? Should I upload the compiler?
