This isn't actually a new idea. If you give this language "3*4", it will With all of these different tools to learn, it's no wonder why most people don't even bother trying to create their own language. So, I can NET and Rolling Your Own. Let's imagine that it were possible. Don't be a hater, build your own compiler science world. Customize and extend your setups using your favorite language. Let's say someone else created a basic calculator-like "language": Even without knowing the syntax, you can probably figure out how it works since it's written very close to the standard way of describing a language. The thing is, variable typing is now considered to be 'a good thing'. Adventures in Compilers - Building on the DLR. Today is no different, but this time, I'm just intrigued by targeting the DLR instead of the CLR. Any compiler vendor who chooses to target the runtime can do so. Instead of creating an entire compiler from scratch, every language would simply extend this core framework and implement their own language as some sort of module. Dermot Hogan looks at what's required to build your very own computer language using two new – and remarkable – tools: Microsoft's Dynamic Language Runtime and ANTLR3 by Terrence Parr from the University of San Francisco. Visual Basic had 'variants' before Microsoft butchered it into VB .NET and the granddaddy of them all, Lisp, is now 50 years old. The article: Create a Language Compiler for the .NET Framework shows you how to build a simple compiler and gives you the working code! For those of you who don't know what Boo is its a statically typed CLR language with Python like syntax that lets you extend it's compiler, and the language itself easily by giving you access to the AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) and Which is why I' ve been reading Ayende's book DSLs in Boo: Domain Specific Languages in .NET.
