Devlog 2-

psst, I just found out markdown works in this devlog box, I think, we will find out.

Overview

I got significant progress done in this “one hour” period that was logged.

I actually worked for like 5 hours nonstop but most of the things I did was debugging so it really didn’t count the time I spent looking at logs.

Either way my language is basically a transpiler now. You can compile PlainScript to JS. It is a backend language as of now so you can do what you can expect from any other language like python and C++.

Future Plans

Using this for backend is just very limiting in my opinion and I am planning on a full Arduino Port which you can code simple projects like blinking LED’s or Wi-Fi communication. I am planning on making a very specific way to print graphics on a screen connected to the Arduino but you would need prebuilt graphic libraries to even do all that and it’s just a pain unless it dynamically generates the keywords for such headers. Right now PlainScript exists for JS and I’m proud of it, of course it needs some security tightening here and there to be actually usable which will be done in my 3rd hour. I will ship the PlainScript V1 after that and work on Arduino port. Right now I haven’t started the demo’s and such so those will come likely tomorrow morning. The rest is planning.

Closing

Alright I spent like 30 minutes writing this then realizing there’s a character limit so I can’t even type the capabilties of the language. Oh well.

Cya later tonight or tomorrow morning chat.
