What do you usually look out for when writing a C lexer? Please let me know in the comments

1 month ago, another developer and I decided to make a totally new programming language as a replacement to the old CRy-vm. We wanted it to be nicer than it and limit the use of ai.
Don't be surprised that we are still making the lexer, we don't have havea ton of free time to develop it fast anyway!

Here is the repository:

Ciyac: The Ciya "Compiler"

Welcome, dear reader!

Iya, a fast, cross-platform programming language from Southeast written in C. We named Iya after the Visayan word Iyaha which means her/his to symbol it's free and open source identity.

To continue with the Ry (Ry's for you) naming, we named Ciya from the word Siya, which means he/she in filipino/tagalog language.

We seperated Ciya from Ciyac Ciya is the main Iya codebase while Ciyac is the main Project of the codebase. Ciyac means CIYA Compiler.

We didn't want Ciya to be a slop, instead, we want it to be bigger and faster leap than its successor, CRy-VM.

If you have any ideas to share, we'll try our best to achieve them.
