I vibe coded a programming language, but I'd rather learn C the old way

I tried to code a systems language called Tig https://github.com/alonsovm44/tc-lang It is cool and it taught me a lot of CS and programing topics, but i ran out of tokens and since i have no monery for cascade code, the project stagnated.I was ashamed of myself so i turned to good old man programs, tutorials in youtube and i tried writing a lexer for a calculator in raw C. And so far i've been...

Yeah i made the same question 17 days ago, i reposted it because i was bored. Here is the link, the lang is still very green, i am working on version 1.3.2

the DOCUMENTATION/ folder has the roadmap and useful docs https://github.com/alonsovm44/tc-lang

I am planning to drop from college, for the third time

I first got into Nanotech Engineering but within the same month of being accepted i switched to Energy Engineering because it "had more future", i got depressed because of personal problems after a year and didnt go to school for a month, lost the semester, but they gave me a second chance, i repeated the year but failed again. I went then to another university and switched to Industrial...

lolz bri'ish r screwed!
I am working on this: https://github.com/alonsovm44/tc-lang (still buggy and unfinished) To make it a reality

I need financial help, pls share

I am developing a systems programming language, but my parents got unemployed, i am also unemployed and looking for a job. I only have 2 days of internet left before the provider cuts it. We have no moneyI need money to pay for Cascade code to help me code faster (i know it is embarrassing, but it is the hard truth) I could do it offline but it would take me much longer.here is the project...

Welcome to the club my boy! (or girl?) Good Job! I've also made a language too. here is the link https://github.com/alonsovm44/tc-lang

Ask HN: Why I have such bad luck?

I've been trying to advertise my github project for days to no avail. https://github.com/alonsovm44/tc-lang Then one day i managed to make a post with Show HN: on it and it got 22 upvotes on 20 minutes and my repo started getting stars. Then it got [pinned], for no reason. I've never seen a post get pinned, and i've seen worse posts get a ton of likes while i get the pin of shame Linus...

Because of divine simplicity, the absolute maximum of perfection logically excludes the possibility of more than one.

if there were two gods, they would have to differ from each other in some way. But a being that is pure act (without any potentiality) and absolutely simple (not composed of parts) cannot have any accidental differences. They could only differ in their very “whatness” (essence). However, if they differ in essence, then one has a perfection the other lacks. The one lacking that perfection would not be absolutely perfect, and therefore would not be God. Thus, you cannot have two beings each claiming to be the maximum of being.

For me it was that the implications of atheistic materialism contradicted basic empiric knowledge. Atheistic materialism is an onthologic monism, the ultimate implication of it is that nothing can be defined since everything is a continuum. yet we can discriminate concrete objects and things. No essence can be defined in Mat-Ath, When I was an atheist I argued that the essence of things can be defined in their composition and geometry (arrangement) of constituent parts. But that is a weak argument since "objects" constantly lose atoms and gain new ones. Think about the atoms you lose and gain through all your life (throwback to the greek boat paradox)

Ultimately it was that in MatAth the person could not be defined, yet we are persons. Also the concept of specie was broken too, every animal would be its own specie.

Then I realized that atheists have no explaination for quantum probabilities, i thought that for God to not exist everything had to be explainable with mechanisms. But when we measure the spin of a particle, whether is spin up or spin down, there is a 50/50 perfect chance? what mechanism makes the choice? There is none, and atheists have no answer other than "thats just how the universe works, period" I realized that since there is no mechanism the only thing that remains to explain it is Will, and if there is will there is a person behind that will.

Ask HN: Pregunta para los devs hispanohablantes

¿Cómo les caería un lenguaje de programación de sistemas pero completamente en español? imagino algo con el minimalismo y la concurrencia de Go, el bonito sistema de errores de Rust, no compartir estados mutuos como en Pony (no race conditions)¿Qué opinan?

What I learned from tinkering with programming languages in the last 34 days

For some reason my OG post has flagged by mods. I won't complain but it is still weird. I began toying around with AI coding in december 2025. I won't lie. My projects are almost all AI generated although I take effort in understanding the theory behind each project. You can check my first attempt at a PL on my github , a project called VII. I've learned a lot in this process. (note: function...
