M Lang - The Arithmetic Language: M is an open-source language that is meant to help people learn about Tokenizers, Parsers, and interpreters. It supports variables, logging, built-in functions and expressions.

MLang (v1.7.1): The Mathematics Language

What is M

M is an open-source language that is meant to help people learn about Tokenizers, Parsers, and interpreters. It supports variables, logging, and expressions.

Project Status

Version: v1.7.1

• Scopes

Known Bugs

• PENDING: Unary expressions don't work in conversions (-23 => c, f is read as 23 => c, f)
• FIXED: Unknown bug (Cause: This bug seems to be caused by the new feature which makes it possible for expressions to be split with ;)
• FIXED: Things like let a = 5; -a is read as let a = 5-a which causes an error due to 'a' being undefined. (This will still happen if you do something like let a = 5 -a)

To-Do (in order from Most Important to Least Important)

• Scopes

• For & (Do)? While Loop

• HTTP Module (Possible, but unexpected)

Canceled Ideas (maybe in the future?)

• Arrays (Priority: HIGH)

Done

• Operations like varName += 5
• Better import/export
• Multiple arguments in functions (util.arg, util.arg1, util.arg2 || $pid, $pid1, $pid2)
• Javascript API (Priority: extremely low / not expected soon)
• Pseudo-pointers / Reference to $pid (passed in variable to a function) and $last (last variable set) (Priority: unexpected)
• Conditional statements (Priority: HIGH)
• Multi-line comments (Priority: extremely low)
• Export keyword (Priority: unknown)
• Import files (Priority: unknown)
• Minimal string support (Priority: unknown)
• Functions (Priority: Medium)
• Unit Conversion (Priority: unknown)
• Expressions (Priority: HIGH)
• Variables (Priority: Medium)
• Logging (Priority: Low)
• Built-in Functions (Priority: unknown)

Want a tutorial on how you can make your own language?

Well, are you in luck! I've recently created a tutorial for making a simple number interpreter from scratch.
