Although I know that you have strong views and many ideas on how you'd like to see Wren develop, I didn't know that you had plans for an entirely new language. I couldn't find a repo for it on Github though I imagine you'll be creating one in due course so people can play around with it.
Anyway, I gather that Veery's parser is creating AST structures rather than emitting code directly as Wren's VM does at present. With the help of bits from the Wren repl
and wrenalyzer
, that has enabled you to create a Veery to Wren transpiler and transpilers for other languages may be on the cards in future.
If there were a transpiler to C or C++ (say), then that would be an exciting development as we'd then only be a step away from having an AOT native code compiler for Veeery/Wren!
Of the three features you mention, I can't say I'm bothered about the first though I would welcome character literals being added to Wren itself - either as a new primitive type or just as an alias for the corresponding codepoint. The third is probably too difficult and not worth the effort.
Incidentally, I see that you're maintaining the ornithological connection as Veery is a type of thrush :)

For now, I'm looking to see how much traction the idea can have. For me, veery
is more a playground where I can put some idea I have and remove some of the frustrations I have with wren. While I want to be its own thing, it also serve as a test place to back port some of them to wren

This is one of the future goals, but I think the code must be consolidated a lot first.
It can also be used as a tool to automagically produce the module boiler plate in a standardized way.

Right now, Character
is a class (unique instance per code point optimization). It doesn't interact greatly with string and hashes. But it is easier to convert a string[i]
to a Character
, than managing the "madness" of:

Don't tell anyone it is a secret ;) In addition, I found it short and funny because it also read as very
XD so it sounds like a good choice.

Sorry if I've already let the cat out of the bag ;)
It is a good name and one that doesn't appear to have been used before for a programming language.
