this is really cool, i want to do something related, make a language like vala. what is the biggest difficulty in this type of transpiler in your short journey?


Even having experience with C/C++, C preprocessor and C declarations took a long time. Some time to get used to the grammar as well.

A language without preprocessor and a simple grammar saves a lot time and you can go direct for the funny parts.


German by chance? Hopefully you're okay with language corrections :)

I live in Germany now and I often hear "funny" (lustig) used where "fun" (Spaß, used in English as an adjective too - something like spaßig but that's still considered "funny") should instead be used. Just a tip!

This project is awesome, by the way. Thanks for posting it.


Probably brazilian by the Portuguese comments.


Yes! I am Brazilian.


with skills like this, mind to push cello forward? https://github.com/orangeduck/Cello really like it but not skillful enough to do it myself.
