the language i was designing

[Skaperen]

i stopped designing my programming language idea because i came into a better understanding of python (setting up some scripts that used th pexpect module to manage a couple Cisco routers my own way). that was because there was so much similarity. a few differences exist, too. mine was a stack-oriented language. executable code was in lists. a list could be called and that would run the opcodes within, in sequence. data items in that would push a copy of themselves (maybe a reference) onto the stack. there were literals and functions to create or dissect opcodes. on benefit of this is that code could be manipulated like data. i was also thinking of having a C-like syntax form that could be compiled into the stack syntax form as a means to implement a language more like Pike. now i am assuming that aspect of the design would be better if aiming for a Python like form (differing in some of the builtins and modules).
