展示HN:我创造了一门像咒语书一样阅读的深奥编程语言 -- Show HN: I made an esoteric programming language that's read like a spellbook

文章摘要

Spellscript是一个像咒语书一样阅读的深奥编程语言项目,托管在GitHub上。该项目由sirbread开发,属于非主流编程语言类别,特点是代码读起来像魔法咒语。

文章总结

GitHub项目:SpellScript - 如魔法书般的编程语言

项目地址:https://github.com/sirbread/spellscript

主要内容:

SpellScript是一种具有独特风格的编程语言,其代码读起来像魔法书中的咒语。该项目由开发者sirbread创建,目前获得75颗星标。

核心特点: 1. 采用自然语言风格的语法设计 2. 无需换行或缩进 3. 支持变量、动态类型、数组、函数等基础功能 4. 包含条件判断和循环结构 5. 提供字符串操作和类型转换功能

示例代码: begin the grimoire. summon the power with essence of 7. conjure ritual named amplify with value to return value multiplied by value. ...

基础语法对照表: | 功能 | SpellScript语法示例 | 传统语法 | |--------------|-------------------------------------|-------------| | 变量声明 | summon the x with essence of 10 | x = 10 | | 条件判断 | if the signs show x equals 5 then | if x == 5: | | 循环 | repeat the incantation 5 times to | for i in range(5): |

运行要求: 1. Python 3.6+环境 2. 创建.spell后缀的脚本文件 3. 执行命令:python spellscript.py 脚本名.spell

项目限制: - 不支持嵌套数组 - 缺少取模运算符 - 函数必须包含至少一个参数 - 不支持递归

该项目灵感来源于Muffin编程语言,开发过程中使用了AI辅助调试。

评论总结

评论总结

1. 正面评价:创意与趣味性

  • 多数评论者认为该项目充满创意和趣味性,值得赞赏。
    • "That's very silly. I like it. :-D" (评论1)
    • "Love it. This is the true value of AI. More such creative projects please." (评论4)

2. 与其他项目的比较

  • 评论者提到类似的项目,如Rockstar编程语言和Mystical语言。
    • "Reminds of Rockstar and The Art of Code, a great talk by its creator." (评论2)
    • "Another one around spells as invocations is Mystical - a programming language that's intended to look like magical summoning circles." (评论19)

3. 批评与改进建议

  • 部分评论者认为语言设计不够自然或缺乏实际应用性。
    • "This is not natural language." (评论3)
    • "This reads like a vague idea of a spellbook from someone who has never even looked at a caricature of a grimoire, let alone a real one." (评论15)

4. 潜在的应用场景

  • 评论者认为该项目适合游戏开发或教育领域。
    • "You've got the basis of an entire alternative programming culture - locate a strong and understanding marketing partner, and you've got something potentially as big as Pokemon." (评论6)
    • "College would have been a lot more fun if we had implement this in our intro CS course instead of a scheme interpreter in scheme that added infix operators." (评论17)

5. 语言设计的改进建议

  • 评论者提出具体的语法改进建议。
    • "summon a Thing named x with essence of value would be a little bit better styled as you can define the class of the var x." (评论13)
    • "Should this not be '(essence of (0 through (ritual amplify with power)))?" (评论20)

6. 文化与哲学讨论

  • 部分评论者从文化和哲学角度讨论编程语言的设计。
    • "The Principia is as often a philosophical work as a scientific one." (评论11)
    • "If you're interested in the idea of treating programming with an air of mysticism, Daniel Suarez's scifi novel 'Daemon' is a highly recommended read." (评论19)

7. 幽默与调侃

  • 一些评论者以幽默方式调侃该项目。
    • "Put it in all caps and drop the definite articles, and you could almost convince people that it's COBOL." (评论22)
    • "Why no 'break' equivalent in loops as 'thou shall not pass'?" (评论16)

总结

评论者对项目的创意和趣味性普遍持正面态度,但也提出了语言设计不够自然、缺乏实际应用性等问题。部分评论者建议参考其他类似项目或改进语法设计,同时从文化和哲学角度探讨了编程语言的可能性。整体上,该项目激发了广泛的讨论和想象力。
