@Christopher2EZ4RTZ I have to say. At first, I wasn't a huge fan of the idea of pain-flak, but I think the idea of making it have to work in reverse also is super interesting.

I like the way its' turned out so far :)

@NickClifford Hmm. Well I have a lot of questions... 1) Do you want my help with it? Cause if you do, JS would be a no sorry lol. I'd like to help with it though. I've never tried to write an interpreter for a (slightly more) practical language, so that sounds fun. 2) How easy do you want it to be? If you're up for a challenge, C/C++ would be interesting. Otherwise Python/JS/Ruby would be way better. 3) Most important question of them all: How true to original Broccoli do you want to be?

Cause the original is a total PITA. No lambdas, no STDIN, no way to run a broccoli script, No file support, no nested functions

Maybe we could make Broccoli 1.0 and 2.0. 1.0 is attempting to stay as true to the original interpreter as possible, and 2.0 is to fix all the annoyances

@Mego @NickClifford same

@Mego If we end up with too much help, there won't be enough to do lol

Have you decided on a language yet

Pavel suggested C# in the Discord earlier.

I like that idea

Hmm

I don't really know C# that well, but I'd totally be willing to learn

@Mego I can guarantee it's not just you. :P

,:42326365 I really like this idea! maybe we could change the behavior with switches or something so we don't have to write separate interpreters

I assume that was a reply to me? lol

aaaaagh I hate using chat.se on mobile

yes @DJMcMayhem

What license was the original under? Is it OK for us to take the name and redo it?

Sourceforge says GPLv2

we could always call it Kale or something

Cool

@NickClifford Interpreter or Compiler?

if you would like to go through the depths of LLVM for a compiler, be my guest, but I was thinking interpreter

Sounds good

I haven't done recreational coding for a long time, so I might even start on it tonight

true

ooh

so did we decide C# as language?

I guess so

Unless there are any objections? (Speak now or forever hold your peace)

👍

definitely

speaking as a Linux user

Ooh C#

Awesome

I haven't really done C# before, so I'd love to experiment with it

@Mego ELI5?

I don't know how to do that

Although I also don't know how to build C# without using Visual Studio

Since broccoli doesn't and won't ever need to support Windows forms, we don't need the full framework and can make do with core.

@DJMcMayhem With core, dotnet build, with mono, mono Foo.cs

@NickClifford We should also set it up on Github, but I don't know how to set it up so that we can all work on it

@DJMcMayhem Organizations

on it

Cool

@NickClifford Do you want to hop on discord VC? That might be easier than chat idk

sure

Original Interpreter

Organization

mkdir brocolli && cd brocolli
git init
dotnet new sln --name brocolli
dotnet new console --name brocolli
dotnet sln add brocolli/brocolli.csproj

^ Creating a solution using dotnet core CLI.

There might need to be multiple projects for 1.0/2.0 and tests

@NickClifford Can you add me to the organization? I'm pavelbraginskiy on GitHub.

@Pavel invite sent

Thanks!

we're currently discussing in the PPCG Podcast Discord server

@NickClifford Link please?

@DJMcMayhem thanks :P I knew that it would not be seen as a good idea until I finish my Coding

Also why am I in broccoli?
