Been working on my programming language https://github.com/buzz-language/buzz for 4 years now (with some down periods).
Currently mainly working on the tooling: LSP, DAP and formatter.
Also managed to get fuzzing working with AFL++ and found a bunch of bugs with it.
When my son was in the last stages of leukemia, Bluey was on repeat all day. He was completely immersed in that world and we, his parents were there with him too.
Now, 5 years after his death, he's little brother is also in love with the show and we watch an episode at least once a day.
There will never be another TV show like this one for those personal reasons and also because it's just too good.
Author here. A few points make buzz a “scripting language” in my view:
- runs in a VM
- garbage collected
- high level
- “simple” meaning there’s only a handful of concepts to understand to use it
It’s true that we’re not used to scripting languages having a type system. But its a trend that is catching on: python has types, php too and typescript is at its peak in popularity to name a few.
I'm not excluding the idea to allow the user to choose between the two. But the language must remain simple and relatively high level so I'm wary of going down that road.
