The Numskull programming language

An esoteric programming language where numbers are mutable

What is this?

This project exists for 3 reasons:

• I wanted to learn GO
• I wanted to make my own programming language
• Useless programming languages are fascinating

I've been toying with the idea of a programming language where numbers are mutable for a while, and finally decided to spend a weekend designing it and making an interpreter for it. The interpreter has since been updated, improving both code readability and execution speed. The original version was a full text interpreter, but all never versions compile programs to a bytecode before executing them, improving program speed dramatically.

Documentation

• Anything you could possibly want to know about the language should exist within the Language Specification.
• The interpreter is command line based and has a built in --help argument, but I still went ahead and wrote Interpreter Usage
