I'm working on its compiler, language implementation, testing, and documentation.</p> <p>Rather than making unsupported claims about performance or stability, I want to share the project's actual progress and invite developers to explore what works today.</p> <h2> Why I'm sharing it </h2> <p>Programming languages evolve through experimentation, implementation, testing, and feedback from developers.</p> <p>I'd like to connect with people interested in:</p> <ul> <li>Programming-language design</li> <li>Compiler development</li> <li>Language implementation and testing</li> <li>Open-source software</li> <li>Helping early-stage developer tools improve</li> </ul> <h2> Explore Karkain </h2> <p>You can learn more about the project here:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Project website:</strong> <a href="https://www.quantsmind.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.quantsmind.com</a> </li> <li> <strong>Source code:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/ajit-ai/Karkain" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/ajit-ai/Karkain</a> </li> </ul> <p>The repository contains the project's current implementation and documentation. Please check the README for setup instructions and the features that are currently supported.</p> <h2> Feedback welcome </h2> <p>If you're interested in programming languages or compiler development, I'd appreciate your feedback.</p> <p>What would make you interested in trying a new general-purpose programming language? Which features, documentation, or tools would you want to see first?</p> <p>I'm looking forward to learning from the developer community as Karkain continues to evolve.</p> programming opensource compiler beginners
