Triton

NOTE

TritonLang is currently not being worked on. This is for various reasons, inclduing:

• C++ is not only very complex but is just... uh... not good
• I have no clue about making programming languages so I'd rather start making one in a language I'm more familiar with.
• I'm already working on Calypso. I might eventually write a Lua backend for it. I'm not sure though. Thanks for your understanding.

Overview

Triton is a C++ styled language that compiles directly to Lua. It is currently being written for the Minecraft mod, OpenComputers as it contains a default computer architecture/language of Lua.

Dependencies [Included]

Tieske/Penlight - A set of Lua libraries [This project will specifically use its lexer library]

mpeterv/argparse - A command line parser for Lua inspired by Python's argparse

Hello, world! [Currently pseudocode]

#include <io>

int main() {
    io::info("Hello, world!");
    return 0;
}

Advantages

• Headers/easily include libraries
• Compiles to Lua for OpenComputers
• Static and dynamically compile libraries into programs
• C++-style syntax and easier OOP
