knitlang

the language for knitters/crocheters by a crocheter/knitter.

Important

This language is still in active development. Please use caution as it's still really buggy.

What Is knitlang?

knitlang was made in June 2025, by me, kenny. Originally it was supposed to be a rust remake of binary called "bin+" (.binp as a file extension.) However I decided to change that idea up after i realized 2 things...

1. Rebuilding 1001110's just isnt possible and/or would be too hard.
2. Im new to rust.

SO Then...!

a brilliant person in discord.gg/program came up with an idea (mostly as a joke) that i should make something based off of knitting. So i did. (mostly for shits and giggles)

How do I use knitlang?

simply build from source using the following commands...

cargo build --release
./target/release/knitlang pattern.knit

Note

.knit is our custom file extension, however for .knit files to work you may need to have the source in the root directory of your project.
