Does anyone know a programming language design and implementation community?
Boosts welcome.
@cstanhope thanks!!!
@ekaitz_zarraga future of coding? not quite language design, but lots of language designers
@y0x3y I didn't know about it.Really cool, thank you!
@ekaitz_zarraga are you thinking in creating a new programming language?
Python-ideas, Guido blog and Python Enhancement Proposals?
https://groups.google.com/g/python-ideas
https://python-history.blogspot.com/
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/
@pybonacci yap! I know those. I read some of python's implementations in the past too.
The only problem is this is too focused to one language and not to general theory but it's a great resource anyway. Thank you!
@ekaitz_zarraga python is a melting pot of amazing ideas from different programming languages/communities. But, yeah, of course is python focused.
Pypy is also a good community to learn about jitting dynamic languages.
Maybe rust? Learning from the past to create the new system language?
@pybonacci I know more or less what I want to build, but I want to discuss about how to build it.
A community of crazy language creators is a thing I want to dig in so I can read what they think in their small languages and get inspiration on that.
making a language like python or rust is a huge amount of work and, even if i'm interested on that, it's impossible for me, so i need the view of individual enthusiasts rather than full development teams.
@ekaitz_zarraga maybe DSLs based on other larger programming languages?
I'm sorry I don't know where to find such communities. Maybe asking on HN or reddit.
@pybonacci I found some here :D
Don't worry.
HN and reddit are a nono for me
@ekaitz_zarraga It sounds like you are looking for a university like MIT.
Perhaps they have such a community?
@urusan hm i guess... but I'm living at the other side of the globe so IDK if I have access to that.
@ekaitz_zarraga there's this group of people i've came across a few years ago: https://proglangdesign.net/
@bctnry thank you! I'll add it to my list!
@Ninjatrappeur My university is a Telecom/Industrial university so nope. The other option is in Donostia, which is like 60km away and I don't believe they work on programming language research...
@ekaitz_zarraga also would like to know!
@robey There are some in this thread, if you can see the messages I'll list you some that I really liked.
Just ask!
@ekaitz_zarraga There are some language devs around here who might have pointers. Hopefully they don't mind being @-ed?
cc: @edwinb ?
I think the lead PyPy dev is also around here somewhere...
@ekaitz_zarraga Maybe not what you're hoping for, but maybe the JaiLang would interest you (I don't think it's public yet), but this is an intersting initiative to make a less cluttery language for game (and more general purpose):

@Xipiryon I know it! yeah!
It's what finally made me decide to dig on languages after playing around with Clojures, Scheme and so on.
@ekaitz_zarraga There was/is Lambda the Ultimate. I'm not sure how active it is these days:
