Building a Programming Language with Python
Read OriginalThe article details a personal project to create a new compiled programming language called 'Al' using Python and the PLY (Lex/Yacc) library. It explores the language's current Python-like syntax, the goal of moving from interpreted to compiled execution, and the trade-offs between compiled and dynamic languages like performance versus features such as eval(). The author outlines future plans, including assembly generation and potential demonstrations at PyCon.
