I built my own Programming Language at 15: Meet Nexus ๐Ÿš€

Most 15-year-olds are playing games; I decided to build the engine behind them.

Iโ€™m Vishwam Phalke, a Class 10 student from Pune, and I just launched Nexusโ€”a custom programming language built from the ground up using Python and the SLY (Lex/Yacc) library.

Why build a new language? ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ
I wanted something that bridged the gap between simple syntax and powerful "Agentic AI" capabilities. Nexus isn't just a project; it's the core of my agency, Overpowered Studios.

The Tech Stack:
Lexer/Parser: SLY (Python-based Lex/Yacc)

Architecture: Custom AST logic and Interpreter

Environment: Designed for rapid prototyping and AI-driven automation.

Whatโ€™s Next?
Iโ€™m currently optimizing the global update commands and preparing for a browser-based game publishing spree.

Check out the source code and documentation here:

I'd love to hear from other compiler enthusiasts or fellow teen devs! What was your first "big" project?
