Inquiry: Making a programming language for sparkscript

[mavdotj]

I've been trying to work on my own programming language for DiamondFire. Still, it's really going nowhere, so I was thinking of collaborating with sparkscript so I already have a foundation to work off of.

I was also thinking of making a package manager for people to publish their actions sort of like the code vault, I already have an idea for packages, to save space they will just be a folder on supabase with an actions.json file and a spark.yaml file with package data, such as version and name

Packages cannot depend on other packages because it would cause versioning issues, I might add this later but at the time being packages are built dependency-less

hello sorry for the late reply i haven't looked at the repo page in a while.
that sounds like a neat idea, you could have a wrapper around sparkscript to make stuff like that
you're free to make whatever you want with sparkscript, as long as its not with malicious intent.

sparkscript will probably not be lightweight any time soon because i have to bundle the actiondump file with it to extract types and type intellisense for convenience.
and it would be almost done if not for the fact that DiamondFire has duplicate actions for separate codeblocks 😑

@mavthedev should probably send a mention..

make it dfonline
I think we would have a system to authenticate users which I have tried to make with dfonline once, and I could see if I can get dfonline to have proper system for packages

so first off, the programming language itself is a large obstacle. we'll have to assign keywords and feed that into a tokenizer, then parse the output & make it stack oriented so that we can handle operations correctly. we should find a syntax we like.
