Tiny Great Languages: Languages in under 75 lines of code (blog series + GitHub)
Tiny Great Languages: Languages in under 75 lines of code (blog series + GitHub)
Summing up years of building interpreters and compilers for various programming languages. The first chapter is about assembly language. We will try to implement a tiny two-pass assembler for CPython VM.
GitHub (source code for all languages), also linked above.
The GitHub says "50 lines of code" but the largest example is 74 lines excluding whitespace and comments.
Very cool. To be honest most of these languages (except maybe Lisp and BASIC) are pretty awful. I can't imagine writing anything in them. Especially K. That's got to result from some form of brain damage...
It’s only 7 bytes of code. !10 returns a list of numbers 0 to 9. 1+!10 adds 1 to each of them resulting in a list [1, 2, …, 10]. Finally /1+!10 applies * verb with scan adverb and returns 123...*10 which is a factorial of 10.
But it processes arrays of numbers in such an elegant way what no other language can compete with it (well, maybe numpy).
Uhm yeah or maybe MATLAB? I mean I mainly like MATLAB because of its unbeatable plotting abilities, but even MATLAB can do
prod(1:10). I am very happy to spend 3 extra bytes on that readability improvement!
