A modular programming language and IDE built with Python — by a student, for the world.
I’m a secondary school student and the creator of OpenCode — a next-gen programming language and IDE designed for creativity, speed, and flexibility.
I’m also on the autism spectrum, and that gives me a supercharged focus for logic, structure, and detail — the kind of mindset that’s perfect for building languages from scratch 🧠⚙️.
OpenCode is more than an IDE — it’s a modular coding ecosystem.
It introduces a new file type: .oc — built on top of Python, designed for readability and modularity.
You can think of it as:
🧩 Python’s simplicity meets modern IDE power.
OpenCode lets you build programs using reusable function modules, run them instantly, and extend the language itself — without touching the core engine.
- 🧠 OpenCode Language (
.oc) — custom syntax inspired by Python, designed for simplicity and flexibility - ⚙️ Modular Backend — drop
.pyfiles in/functionsand they instantly become usable commands - 🪄 Built-in IDE — syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and live output
- 🌐 Flask Backend — handles real-time code execution safely
- 💻 Cross-platform Support — works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
- 🧩 Custom Extensions — build your own functions and language features
- 📘 Docsify-powered Documentation — open-source, beautiful, and easy to navigate
