Is it possible for me to get a review of my language? [duplicate]

Question

I'm currently designing a stack-based language intended for scripting. I'm wondering if it's possible for me to have its syntax evaluated by this community, e.g., I'd describe the language and how it works, and then receive feedback concerning the improvement of code readability.

E.g., this is a variable declaration in my language:

i 5 <-

Someone may respond:

Variable declaration is a bit awkward. I think it would be more readable if variable declaration was something like <value> <reference> <-.

Would this be an appropriate format for this site?

Answer 1

Seems you're still at the design stage; feedback like you describe would inherently be opinion-based - and IMO very likely closed as such.

It might be possible to formulate your question in such a way that it can be answered on Software Engineering (see the language-design tag).

Once you've formally specified your language, implemented the specs in the language of your choice to make a lexer, parser, interpreter, and/or compiler, then you'll definitely have something we can review and potentially improve.

And once you have an interpreter (compiler?) that reviewers can use to write and run code written in that language, you can post the very first your-language-herefizzbuzz question!

But discussing language design? A chatroom would probably be a better suited place for it.
