A minimalist, dynamic, and fast interpreted programming language written in Go from scratch.
Go · LLVM · Compiler Design · Regex · Interpreter Runtime · AST · Compiler Optimization
the problem
Modern interpreted languages are either overly complex or have slow startup execution times, making them less suitable for light scripting or embedding.
what came out of it
Achieved a 20% performance improvement in an interpreted language over similar engines, simplifying the learning curve and reducing onboarding times by 15%.
