I Built a Programming Language Called W++ — Yes, It Has a Mascot and a CLI Named "Ingot"

So I made a programming language.

It’s chaotic, semi-serious, C#-powered, and somehow has reverse polymorphism. 😎

Meet W++ — a scripting language designed for:

• 🧠 Familiar syntax (JavaScript-ish)
• ⚡ Compiles to .NET IL (so it runs FAST)
• 🧬 OOP-style entities, async/await, and sloth-powered memes

It’s built with System.Reflection.Emit, has a CLI called Ingot, and its official slogan is:

"At least we’re better than Visual Basic."

I'm now looking for contributors and curious minds to help expand W++ — whether it's syntax features, runtime, VSCode integration, or just creative ideas!

sinisterMage / WPlusPlus

A Python-style scripting language rewritten in Rust & LLVM. Faster, dumber, and more chaotic than ever.

W++ 🦥

Built with chaos. Forged by sloths. Rewritten in Rust.

🧠 Welcome to W++ v2 — The LLVM Era

W++ v2 marks the full rebirth of the sloth-powered scripting language you never asked for The old C# interpreter has retired peacefully, and in its place rises a real compiler — built with Rust, targeting LLVM, and powered by questionable life choices.

This isn’t just a rewrite. It’s a declaration that W++ is officially moving from “toy” to “terrifyingly functional.”

⚙️ What Makes v2 Different?

Old W++	New W++ (v2)
☠️ C# interpreter with async tears	🦀 Rust + LLVM-backed compiler
Heavy .NET runtime	Native machine code, zero dependencies
JIT-ish execution	True LLVM IR + optional JIT
Managed chaos	Unmanaged chaos
Maybe portable	Actually portable (Linux, macOS, FreeBSD)

🧩 Core Features

• let declarations & expressions
• print (via native printf)
• if / else, while, for…
