Title: Whats the possibilty of all of us getting together

Whats the possibilty of all of us getting together and making our own programing language with C++?

i think it would be a good idea.

all we would need to make is a compiler.

So small that it's more likely that I'll randomly teleport to Saturn.

There's no 'chance' of it, but it would take huge amounts of effort from many people. This is entirely unnecessary, because there are better languages than anything we would make. Learning machine code isn't exactly easy.

nah too much work.im sure pretty much anyone could make a simple interpreter language though ;)

All you'd really need to know is cpu opcodes(instruction hex values). For instance:

CODE

mov ah, 4Ch
int 21h

would be:

CODE

B4 4C CD 21

in hex. Simple enough. Then if you'd need to either know the pe format, or just put that straight into a .com file.

it's not the cpu codes thats hard ...

MasterMind most languages of that nature are much simper to make than you think. but first you need to know asm and the op code translations for it. (or get a lot of experiance with an asm compiler and cut and paste style editing) most languages are devloped by one person and perfected by large groups.

i think you''l find Python to be a worthy product from C
(well, i think it was mad in C since its compiled with gcc

FrozenKnight - July 29, 2004 11:52 PM (GMT)

it's possiable to use make a compiler for just about any language with C/C++ or ASM or any language that supports binary file reading / writing. and i'm fairly sure that Python, Cobol and Delphi were languages that were arround before C.

i thought Python was interpreted :blink: i also dont think that Delphi has been around longer than C because Delphi is only for windows therefore C has been around a lot longer than Delphi. now pascal on the other hand i dont know how long thats been around but im guessing not quite as long as C. dont know anything about COBOL :(

how did u get that hex value consumed? just askin :S

Just assemled it. :P

Python is indeed interpreted.
ANd the good part is, I can create Python dll's in plain C :D

Consumed - July 31, 2004 01:58 AM (GMT)

I think I'll try and make a language of my own. :) Hmmm... Should I use BASIC syntax or C/C++ syntax? Or invent my own?

Actually, Pascal beat C by about ... 1 year! :lol:

Pascal is older than most people think...

Cobol 1959, 11 years before the first Pascal.
