The dramatics...

Perhaps it is my love of grammar that has driven me to this point. Perhaps context free languages and Backus-Naur form are the only reason I continue to breathe. Perhaps it was the uranium flavored tobacco that my father used to smoke. Whatever the reason, let it be known that I have decided to write my own scripting language.

Initial progress...

So far I have developed a tokenizer (preprocessor) for the source. I have been using the CPPUnitLite library for running tests and this has gone really well. Thanks to whoever suggested it! [smile] I'm currently writing out a grammar definition for the first parsing class. It should be similar to C++ in syntax with minor differences for variable declaration and functions. I've decided to name my first language Magus. Wish me luck!
