Show HN: Jet – Another Programming Language

https://jet-lang.com
2•jgeorgesYC•1h ago
Hi HN,

My name is Johny Georges and I would like to present Jet, a C-like general purpose programming language. It's currently in alpha so I wouldn't recommend using it in a professional environment.

Here are some quick facts about it: - it supports both OOP and functional programming paradigms - the syntax is similar to Typescript and Swift - arrays and strings are dynamic - memory is automatically managed for you - you have full control over how values get passed around (by value or by reference)

In anticipation of the typical questions that come with creating and publishing a new programming language, I've authored an FAQ that's available in the repo. I will also be around today to answer any other questions that come up.

FAQ: https://github.com/JetJet13/Jet/blob/main/FAQ.md

Special thanks to Robert Nystrom for authoring 'Crafting Interpreters' and making it available for free, what a guy! I also want to give props to Chris Lattner & Vikram Advethe for creating LLVM. What an impressive piece of kit!
