Hello everyone I am to making a programming language and I need your help to complete it. I have named it swallow. Repo- https://github.com/Swallow-lang/swallow
Please contribute
Without commenting on the merits of your programming language, I'd like to give a bit of constructive advice on your presentation, which does matter a bit.<p>* Among other issues there are some spelling mistakes in your ReadMe. Proper nouns like Python, Swallow, and C should be capitalized. Sentences should end with a period.<p>* The example shouldn't be ultra-complex, but a small 5-10 line program to add an item to an array and print it out or something might display more about your language than a HelloWorld.<p>* A little better description of this could be useful for visitors. What kind of paradigm are you going for: is this object-oriented or functional? I can't tell from your ReadMe.<p>* I'd like to figure out why somebody would use this rather than something like say D or Rust or some other more established systems language that's a bit easier than some alternatives.<p>That said, props to you for making this and I wish you super well in this learning journey.
You need to add more code examples. Perhaps I'm reading too much from the 2 line example, but it looks quite pythonic? Is that correct? What are the main differences with Python?<p>Why is it implemented in V?<p>I think it's too early to find contributors. Try to find users. Some users became power users. Some power users became contributors.
The key features state that the language is "fast" and "occupies less memory". Maybe provide some benchmarks/comparisons? Also, more examples would be helpful.<p>If I look at the landing page from the perspective of someone who either wants to use the language or contribute to it, there just isn't enough compelling information yet. More examples demonstrating that the syntax could be a nice alternative to python or c would help catch someone's eye.
