i know scratch is written in squeak
but what about others like c++
do people just type binary into their computer until they get results
i doubt it

Re: how do people write programming languages

Assembly, but you can write programming languages in any language. For example, Processing is written (and compiles with) Java.

Not really. There's a pretty thick and blurry grey line.

Re: how do people write programming languages

There are certain "levels" to programming languages. There are "high level" and "low level" programming languages. A high level programming language makes it simple for the end user to read, understand, and write code. Scratch is an example of a very high level programming language. Low level languages are difficult to understand, and some require memorization of machine codes to use. The two lowest level languages are Machine Code and Assembly. The lowest being machine code. Most programming languages similar to C are written in Assembly.


I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

Re: how do people write programming languages

Basicly they write a programming languages with either a written one (generally easier) or with assembly. It would be almost impossible to program in binary. Assembly associates worlds, letters and other things with the corresponding binary code to control things.

Assemblys goes a bit like this (Not exactly like this though)

Add Register 2, Register 2, 1
Which would be
x = x + 1, x += 1, x++

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

I think it's funny when programming languages are intentionally extremely low-level, like brain**** which has 8 commands: > < + - . , [ ]
